I have the JIC FLT-A2's in my car and I absolutely love them. I cant think of anything bad to say about them. Ive ridden on an SC3 with tein HA's on the softest setting and my car is noticeably smoother, especially considering how low I drive my car around.

I have another set of the HKS Hipermax II's on my car. Ride is awesome just like gadget said. Actually I bought mine from MVP for $1836 so price is little less than the $2175 list. I did over hear that anything HKS doesn't have in stock now is a higher price. I had bad experiences with JIC so I don't recommend them at all (personal issue).

Somebody is selling a set of Tein Flex coiloveres on CL. GO to the Classified Section. I believe they are only a few months old.

Could you please share your bad experience?

Much like many others, I am debating between Tein and JIC. I'm just looking for as much personal testimonies of both products before I make my decision.

Thanks,

JIC does have a reputation for bad customer service.

also do they have a facility here in the US to upkeep the coilovers?
