I just need feed back and opinions.

1. How was the ride before and after you put the JIC?
2. How low can it go? how low did you go? Pictures would be nice!
3 If not JIC, what's the other coilover you are considering?

Seize's bro is running them on a clean silver 2GS. Just search for it.

Seize

What I've experienced in my brother's car.

1) Well before the coilovers it was stock suspension so it rode like a stock car. With the coilovers installed, the ride is super stiff and it handles way better.
2) It can go really low, not sure how low. Just look at the pictures below.
3)Teins

A few pics (the coilovers are capable of going lower but then we wouldn't be able to get it out the driveway)

SP GS

I see this car rollin around MM all the time, the exhaust is loud as hell

hey seize, was it super stiff but still comfortable? is it the vip version?

i hate you seize! LOL

just when i wanna put my car back to stock, sell all my parts, and stop mod'ing, there's always a thread or post when you gotta bring back pics of your bro's car! just evily convincing me to start buying parts again. LOL

anyway, if wanna go low w/tein, you'll have to get flex or ss to slam. i'm assuming ride comfort isnt a priority for ya if you're considering JIC's .

i'm on and lowest i can get is about same as seize's bro's rear and maybe a 1/2" higher than his front. i was flush in front but still had about 3/4" of thread i could drop. but i dont have the jp kit so my car isnt as stunning dam it seize! hehehe

charlie@jd

they said that the JIC VIP version is soft and comfy?

I have the JIC SF-1's I believe thats what they are called, I have had mine going on 5 years. for the first 3 years they were pretty comfy, smooth, and stiff......now they are getting bumpier, and the shocks are losing their dampening resistants. overall, they are pretty good.

I can go at least 3 inches lower on front and rear, but then I would be able to drive. I beleive the JIC have the lowest ride height adjustability.

My brother had JIC re-build them awhile back to his spec. JIC claimed they modified the FLT-A2's to the VIP version but made them much stiffer. Not sure exaclty what that means as I have no idea what goes into a coilover assembly. But I will say this, after my brother had them installed they seemed a bit stiffer than the normal FLT-A2's.

As far as ride quality is concerned. The words "comfortable" and "super stiff" don't really coincide. I mean you have a car that's super low, of course you're going to want the coilovers to have the least amount of rebound possible. Oh and you're definitely going to feel the road more

Bottom line is, you're going to sacrifice some degree of ride quality when lowering your car. It's pretty much the price you pay for handling and looks.

If your worried about ride height and ride quality, why dont u just go for Tein SS/Flex/HA and run the EDFC?

charlie@jd

lol... do you guys bottom out?

4play4dr

<< bottom out all day..hey seize..what spring rates does ur bro have? i think even if i stiffen mine all the way..i will probably still bottom out the UCA's..how did he correct that? still tryna find ways to conquer the bottoming out without raising it..i think me n charlie are on the same page..haha
