got my jic sf-1 coilovers on.

wow, my ride is so much better (although my stock shocks were blown). Everything feels much tighter and my car no longer bottoms out. handling improved greatly, there is less body roll and my car responds much faster, feels like my old honda s2000. overall, I give it a 8.5 out of 10 =)

Arrow Mine are still for sale (3k mi on them)

Nice smooth ride after the springs settle. Handling is most excellent.

Just out of curiosity: What hight did you settle on? Mine is now a 1" drop (was 1.5").

...and does yours make an air noise over rough bumps? I was told that this normal for twin tube shocks and in Japan it's not legal to have speed bumps, steep driveways and messed up pothole ridden roads so the noise isn't noticable there. You would have to drive with the windows up, sun roof closed and radio off.

I pre-ordered mine direct for Ziel Motorsports

You can't buy directly from them anymore and I only saved money on shipping, since I brought my car there and they installed it.

Contact Rishie or Jason for RX-7 club members discount. The price advantage is that they come with the pillow ball mounts. Retail is $1,450.00 for the SF-1's and $1,800 for the FLA-2's. There is a current review on the FLA-2's in the suspension section.

JIC is also in negotiations to provide Mazdaspeed with coil overs but i'm not sure if i'm supposed to mention that?
