And toser/topspeed. I dont have that kind of money to burn on my suspension, so I just stick with my spring/strut combo.

i probably will never adjust the settings, but the settings are there for a reason, i guess if you race you'll need stiffer, and for daily driving a softer setting... so it actually is very useful depending on the application

From my conversation with JIC owners, they feel that if you are spending over $1000 on a suspension, its smarter to shell out the few extra bucks for JIC's for its adjustability. They feel that having control over "dampening" setting is a feature worth paying little extra.

i'm gonna have to say that the majority of jic owners will never touch the settings once they adjust it. yeah, those autox owners will sure use it, that's obvious. a few here and there, but seriously, daily drivers, will NOT touch that. they'll set it once and leave it alone. that's where the cattman's try to get in. they have a preferred daily setting and i'm happy with them. i get the drop that i want, with the feel that's soft and comforting.

If I had the 5spd swap and turbo done and I had the 1200 dollars to spare id get the jics but for now the teins/illuminas should more than do the job at less than half the cost.
