Default JIC Installed....finally

OK, Well its been about a month of driving around with the JIC SF-1 coilovers in my trunk waiting for them to be installed. Anyways, I finally got them installed today. I took some pics tonight, but they all cam eout shaky except for one, so I will try again tomorrow. There is about a 2 finger gap between the tires and the wheel well. Overall, the ride was a lot firmer, but I odn't mind (mabye my youth is to thanks, i dunno) Anyways, I'll put som emore pics up tomorrow.

Actually you can lower the car and the ride quality won't change. the thing is that the more you drive with that set, the more you like it. I used to have same ones on my LS.

Ill be installing my JIC FLT-A2's tommorrow on my SC300... Did you run into anything out of the ordinary when putting them in? Did you keep the suspension height setting as it came from the factory? If so, how low did it lower the car? I would love to see some pictures of the finished product.

hmmm...... a full day of school and work + 4 hours of manual labor by myself? Im convinced, maybe i should wait until tomorrow. in the meantime, ill just surf the web and post meaningless replies to all the interesting threads i can find on CL. ill be sure to get pics of the install and the finished product.. TOMORROW
