JIC Coilover Ride Comfort for FD

Can anyone with JIC coilovers in their FD sound off on your ride quality on the street?

Many Thanks,

Doc

We're getting the first big shipment on Monday. So I guess we can let you know next week. I think this shipment may have different spring rates than the previous ones so it might be a totally new experience.

I only have one set left as all the others were purchased by local guys.

Unhappy Will update after I raise my car

For the price it's like getting the pillow ball mounts for free.

My SF1's were extremely stiff when first installed. It took a few weeks for the springs to settle and now it doesn't seem as harsh but the car lowered even more and i'm bottoming out on the freeway but corner handling is excellent.

My rears make noise over bumps and it is annoying. If it was just for track racing I wouldn't care but I don't like being told I need new shocks after spending over $1,500. Ziel Motorsports has been giving me the run around and it's pissing me off big time!!!

I would spend the extra money and get the FLA-2's.
You can ask Rishi if you can special order different spring rates.

Yeah, you get a lot more functionality and eliminate the need for helper springs with the more expensive setup.

Thanks, Rishie
