i know tein makes coilovers for the new LS, but I wonder if JIC makes them as well. Retrodrive has the JIC and says you dont give up any ride...

well They are both reputable, so its a matter of opinion,. I have not had the luxury of riding with coilovers. But i have a feeling Tein is the only brand that makes them for the 01 - 04.. I know there should be someone in teh forum whos got the tein.

I'm looking to get coilovers for mine too and it looks like we're the same boat, trying to enhance the look of the car but don't want to lose the good ride. People have recommended Tein CS. I'm working to get the wheels first though.

kidcapp, where are you in Mass? I have been calling around and get quotes between 1600-1700 installed, alignment not included in that price. Not sure which store I will use myself. If you have recommendation, please pass it along.

I forgot to mention that the 2 shops I called are T3 Motorsports and PFModify. If you happen to install the coilovers before I do, please let me know the shop. I'll do the same.

Sorry, off topic. Do you mind check this thread and see if you have this issue? Thanks.
