I was looking into getting them possibly this summer. But as of late, it seems like the JICs have been popular. I know the Tein SS needs the adjustable camber plates that the FLT-A2s already have. Still more research needs to be done for me.

I haven't had any expieriences with the Tein but I heard they aren't as good as the JIC;s.. I have the JIC's and they are absolultely worth the $$. With the Tein's I hear they make noise like grond controls do.

What kind of noises exactly and who on here has them? I hear GCs are pretty bad quality, but I thought the Tein ones would be of similar quality to their S. Tech springs that everyone is raving about, and thus similar to JIC quality.

How can you compare $1050 vs $1450? And Made in Taiwan vs Japan... The Jics are look and feel of better quality.. I dunno.. Maybe It's just me and since I have the JIC's I'm biased

Ground Control are not bad quality.. What make it damage? I have it for 6 months and there are nothing wrong with it.. Oh by the way, one person say that Ground Control making noise whenever you drive? I dont think so.. It doenst have any noise.. Maybe they dont install right property or following instruction of how to install it.. oh well

Teins will also have the in car electronic Dampening force controller. EDFC, in car adjustment of dampening. Pretty neat. It will work for A33 chassis too. Anohter reason to go with Tein, its "cool" to have a lil thingy in your car that adjusts suspenison. But im going with JIC's.
