Feedback: JIC FLT-A2 VIP
Alright, after 2 months of reading whatever I can find off internet and talking to JIC reps and thier dealers, I finally pull the trigger on their VIP coilover for my 02 LS430.
Installation was just like any other coilover out there, I set the dampering setting at the middle for now, I will update more info once I find the sweet spot for myself. Spring rate is 14/7, so far I think the ride comfort is ok, it's firmer than Tein CS for sure, but I feel more in control with these coilover, the car don't roll as much as before, even more planted than the CS.
And like it advertised on the JIC website, I can still drop about close to another inch all the way around, right now the tires are little tucked, but might have to raise the car when I put the bodykit on.
I had Tein CS before and as much as I enjoy and apprciate the ride comfort, it just won't drop to the height I want, and the road feedback is not as clear as the JIC coilover. I know this is just my personal opinion, but I think any kind of feedback is going to be somewhat helpful to another fellow CL member. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions, I will try my best to answer any of it.
