I know, but my next substantial clump of money will be for a big brake kit...then if I have some left over I'll look into some coilovers.

 

I know , I was just trying to keep this thread refreshed so it doesn't get bumped out of the first page I would like for him to drop the car about 2.25 in the front, and 1.75 in the rear and then give us a ride description. If he does this then I will order 4 sets of these coilovers( i have a shop). But keep on bumping this thread until we get some straight answers. Peace

 

bump

 

kyb's and progress springs, 600 bucks, don't need the mounts, modded stock one EASILY, don't need the boots, all 5th gne ones should still be good. so i'm lowered and handle SICK for 600 bucks. 1100 is no where near what it should cost for kyb's and any spring.

 

ya kno...i had just justified the cost of the JIC's too....now you had to go mess all that up..hahaha..i think imma need maxima therapy.

 

i couldn';t spend that much on a street suspension, i'm MMOOORREEE then happy with my kyb's and progress springs, not to soft, not bone jarring and do they handle sick.

 

nice. but theyre not as adjustable as the coilovers.

 

is adjustablily worth 600-900 bucks??? i'd rather have the stillen body kit. but i'm mod conscience, i look for the deal so i can get the most mods.

 

If your into shows im sure they are worth allot of points to the judges after all they are JIC jdm coilovers.

 

arrggghhhhh!!!


What to spend my money on

I think I will hold off for about 30 days. Have to make sure new Jobby-job is secure. GD in July???

 

In THEORY your getting MORE adjustability than the AGX's. Plus, the camber plates alone are worth $200-$300 and are a necessity if you have a 2+" drop. I'm not all that concerned with an EXTREME drop, but 2" is nothing on the Max especially with larger rims. The most important factors IMO are an EVEN drop and ride. So far, NO spring/strut combination other than GCs has a matched front/rear drop. The closest I've seen is H&Rs with modified 4th gen AGXs, but it's not close enough.

The JICs are a COMPLETE unit with NO modifications and were DESIGNED to work together. This can make a HUGE difference IMO on how they hold up and perform. I'm not trying to knock Cattman, but the modified FRONT KYB struts scared me away. He comprimised all the R&D of KYBs structual integrity. If the modified strut supports failed, it would be catosrophic(sp?) and cause loss of control. I'm surprised he would take the liability, but he apparently trusts the shop that modifies them.

These are just a few reasons why I'd spend an extra $900 over the AGX/Koni with H&R/Eibach/Sprint/Maxspeed/etc. springs or an extra $500 over AGX/Koni with Ground Controls.

Now I just got to find some $$$$!

 

JIC's are the way to go if you want performance and drop. These are "true" coilovers.

I agree with Alex's second paragraph.

 

true, nothing does sit totally right but what cattman does to modify them i would say does not compromise their integrity esp now that he has the 4th gen ones adn they are almost the same. it's a lot of money to part with ofr coilovers, how much are hogan's(chimp dj's) supposed to be?

 

Hogan sells coilovers? I didn't know he was selling coilovers.

If you mean comoboy, you should email him. His ORG price is VERY reasonable for all the goodies these things have and that it's a quality product made by a VERY reputable manufacturer.

 

he i definetly mean hogan, he has a set comiong out in august. i know him well and i can't wait to see them.

 

worth and value are held in esteem differently by all.

what may be worth 6-9 bills to me, may not be for you?

some people think its worth it to buy 100k cars?

some dont?

 

If anyone is interested, you can get D2(height adjustable, bracket adjustable) for A32 and A33 for like $530 US price...

A.Z coil-over system for around $520 US (both height and 6 way adjustable on the shocks)

Type XS R coi-over system for around $1000 US...spec similar to A.Z

Kei Office is coming out one for A33 for around $1800 US, then you are talking about top of line Japanese suspension system.

JIC--can only get it in the states..at least for now.

However, this requires you to call Taiwan distributors and shipping should be around $100-150 US Aired.

They also have koni+spring combo for $1000 US

Custom work from Tein and Tanabe are also available with one month of wait.

Anyway, just some info to share----

 

what are you talking about!!!!..do you sell this stuff?..where can i get it!!!!

 

JIC coilovers are not for everybody. There aren't that many people out there than can drop that much money for the best products out there. If you want to go the cheapest route, you should not have bought a Maxima, you could build a 13 sec Honda with $4000 in mods.

For suspension, if you want the cheapest, go buy Maxspeed springs and KYB's and bust out the dremel. You want a cheap exhaust, forget Greddy. You can go out an buy a $80 Magnaflow and have a muffler shop bend you your B-pipe. $250 later, POOF, you have a catback exhaust. But that's just not as nice as buying a Greddy now is it? There's nothing wrong with saving money, I am a hardcore DIY'er but sometimes I think that my car deserves the best out there.

Just my .02, I'm not trying to start a flame war here.

So to those who feel that JIC's are worth it, email me for pricing. Those who don't feel free to post, let's just all get along.

 

how about a mid pipe.

 

Uhm I don't think it was answered but I'll ask anyways. Will these work on the 4th gen?

 

There are A32 versions available.

Contact AvalonRacing to make sure, but you can get them cheaper elsewhere.

 

They have the 15 settings version?
