Teins And Jic, i can get the cheap but...

i need to know if they JIC are worth the almost 600 more. i can get the HA's for under 900 and the jic for shy under 1400. dont ask where, as i cant let this out. i know the JIC come with pillow mounts but is this all worth 600 more. would i be happy enough with just the HA's. they have a decent spring rate and i dont plan on DROPPING it so my shock length wont be that bad. would it also be worth maybe just getting a set of RB springs with koni yellows. GC's are out of the question as this setup will run close to 1200.00. just that JIC=$$$

it depends. Are you a track junkie or just a guy who autocrosses occasionally or just drive your car on the street a little that just wants some better handling? If you honestly don't track that much or auto-x that much then maybe you should go with the TEIN's just because they are cheaper

well i would like to turn into a track junkie. i will get more and more track events as this year progresses. im going into withdrawls about not really being on one. i know that the jic seem to be worth every penny and i dont doubt that. this is why i still would like to lean toward the jic's. i hear they are made extremely well. any news on the Aluminum parts being used on the jic. i know that they wont rust, but what about abuse. will the softer metal be able to take a high rate of street driven/autoX/track abuse. this is mostly my daily driver, but i have other means of transportation. i was going to buy a motorcycle but opted not to right now. that will leave me with over 5K to play with on my suspension and power upgrades and tuning. also, how easy is it to have the jic's rebuilt here in the states. i would just like to know if its pricey and time consuming. dont mind paying a little more for a better performance.
