I haven't put coilovers on my car, (10th AE), but i put racing beat springs on it with the stock struts and there is a HUGE difference. It was lowered about an inch and a half, which is just low enough because my exhaust barely clears speed bumps. These springs, good tires, and front and rear strut bars my car handles like it's on rails.

I have recently purchased a set of JIC FLT-A2. I really dont have any other comparison with any other FC suspension setups but compared to a Tein Flex kit that was setup up mildly hard on an Integra and a Tein SS kit on a 240, it seems alot stiffer. the spring rates are higher, and the dampening is harder. Handling response as with anyother setup, greatly improved. I have also heard many good things about SilkRoad coilovers. Might want to give them a look as well since ive heard that they are very well made.

where did you buy them? i went to shox.com they want 309 for a set of 4, but i want to be sure that they send me the correct ones... the rear are different from the front.


rb sells them for 73 each for the rear 126 each for the fronts... front left and front right are a different part number too.
