blew my JIC after a week of driving... wtf gay... passenger side front blew yesterday.... gay gay gay gay after waiting 5 months for that crap...

Kei Office rules JIC blows *****

 

here is my 10 characters.

 

How did you come to that conclusion?

 

Could it be that the installation was ****ty???

 

Wow sorry to hear that dude, how did you determine it's blown? Hope that you get it fixed without a hassle from JIC.

 

Damn that sucks. I hope u get that shiet fixed prompty.

 

strut fluid coming out of the bottom, smushy bouncing around on the right side, clunking from the same side....

I thought it was an axle... the fluid all over the inside of the wheel... but on closer inspection it was the strut fluid from the JIC

Kei office coilovers... i had those ones SLAMMED and they never blew!!

 

this is just GREAT focking news..

how low did you have them??

 

thread title says it all

 

Wow... you must have hit a high @ss pothole or something.. I had mines and I'm sure other ppl can vouch for them too. It's harder to blow these then the other aftermarket struts/shocks.

 

maybe a defect?

or possible piston was damaged during shipment/install?

 

So you're going to have to put a regular strut on in order to send that one out. That sucks!

 

Damn dude, that sucks...I was going to go with JIC a couple months ago but now I've decided to get the Cattman/Progress coilovers. I like the fact that they were engineered specifically for our car, and Cheston even prefers them over the JICs.

You spent a grip on that suspension so hopefully JIC will warranty it and you'll only have to pay shipping...

 

not................

 

see thats the thing... I have 19"s and my 19"s hate potholes... so I moved to a city where there are no potholes... we have the smoothest freakin roads here I didnt hit a single pothole not even a mildly bad one

Dan is right, I'm pretty sure its a defective strut... Turbomax had the same problem his was even blown before it got onto his car

and yeaup I have to take it off my car and send it to JIC which means my car will be on stands for awhile dammit

 

Ha, you should here him talk about the JIC's for his Z.

Thats because Cheston has never tried the JIC's.

 

any issues on your end.. hopefully it's not this most recent batch that is all defective.

 

Nope none like that. Only thing I have to do is preload the damn springs now.

No one else has had problems with theirs either as far as I know.

 

0 fender gap in the rear...with a mild system in the trunk..no probs yet...

 

All I know is that Cheston himself said that he prefers the Cattman/Progress ride over the JIC. I don't doubt that he loves the JICs for his Z, I mean the JICs are great coilovers don't get me wrong, but there isn't a coilover set made specifically for the Z yet. I guess that's the whole point he was trying to express to me.

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the Cattman/Progress coilovers?

 

Actually he has teins on his Z and he said the JIC's were incredible.

Havent heard to much about Progress yet.

 

I have had no problems as of yet. I inspect them on a regular basis. I have over 15,000 miles on mine and not a single problem. Did you possibly have them set to the hardest setting? The instructions state the last two clicks at the hardest setting are not usable and if used will result in damage.
