Just trying to get a feel for the market on these bad dogs.

If you have them, PLEASE describe your complaints, compliments, setup, and describe your ride quality.

If you do NOT have them, what price would convince you to bypass the spring/strut avenue and buy them TODAY?

 

$5.00

I am deciding but can't seem to make up my mind

 

Definitely get them.. It's way worth the money. It's made in Japan so you know the quality is definitely there.. How can you beat having your car slammed 3" and 15 way dampening. Not to mention the included camber kit.

 

Not having the money at the present moment even though there is a deal waiting

 

Sell some mods off and get them then.. j/k

The place where I went to install mines had installed the Teins before he did my JIC's. And his exact words were, "There are the best made coilovers I have ever seen and installed"

 

well I think I made up my mind to get them geeez will this ever stop. Now I'm looking for a lightweight set of 17's b/c Im more go than show.

 

Get some SSR's or Volks.. There's light and forged..

The JIC's are like 10lbs lighter then the tokico/h&R's that I had.. So right there you can shed some pound off your car for more GO!

 

I was looking at the GT-1's and Comps

 

No complaints, good coilovers, 1 finger gap all around, at 10/10 the ride quality is still good..... stiff but good.

How much can you get them for?

 

 

GT1's are nice.. I have those.. There's light. But not as strong as what ppl think.

 

I did mines to a 1 3/4 finger gap all around. And set 7/8. The ride quaility is pretty good. How's 10/10? Stiff enough where you hit a bump and your tail bone hurts?

 

I'm young so I can take the abuse.

 

In that case I should set mines to 15/15

j/k... Nah I think this weekend I'll change them to 10/10

 

how low will 10/10 bring you

 

Be prepared for a very stiff ride. 10/10 is not the best setting. It was something that I tried and stuck with.

 

10/10 is the front and rear dampening..

For the drop we have to use a wrench that come with the kit and turn the ring..

 

shows how much i know)

 

Well at least you researching them before you decide to get them

 

I'm trying to have a SERIOUS discussion here and that's the BS I get.















Just playing.

 

Why aren't people BUYING JIC FLT-A2?

1)Quality?
2)Price? If so, how much would you pay!?!?!?
3)Purple springs?
4)Not out long enough?
5)What?

I think JIC has the corner on the TOP-END coilovers, but nobody is buying them. OR at least not too many.

I think I've seen FOUR 5th gens and 2-3 4th gens..

I need feedback people. Thanks!

 

I am strongly considering at the moment. Once more decide I will have made my final decision hopefully

 

 

 

The reason why you don't see a lot of ppl have it on the org is because of price.. Depending if you have hook ups or what not but most ppl in general get them for like $1500... A lot of members on the org don't have $$$ so they go the cheaper alternative.. That's basically the run down. But as far as quaility and what you get the $$ there's no arguement there

 

GD ends Monday....... if there was one!

 

Why are you telling me this?

 

 

How is ride quality compared to stock? I could not stand my H&R/tok combo on the crap roads here in Boston. Not knowing a whole lot about coilovers I am in the cold on this one. I realize that you can adjust the hight and stiffness, but that is it. Could them possible yield a better ride than stock? By that, I mean dampening out more annoying bumps than stock?

 

I would love to have a set, but price difference is too much for my current situation and responsibilities.

 

GD?? what are you talking about? i thought there was a strict rule against GD's on all JIC stuff... if there is one, please point me in that direction!

That's the point I'm DRIVING at!!!!! People need to speak up about WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY for the JIC FLT-A2.

The FLT-A2 coilovers retail for $1950, so that scares most people INCLUDING MYSELF off. However, IF it was possible to get them for cheaper, say $1500 or LESS as you've suggested, WOULD PEOPLE BUY THEM. Or is $1500 still not in the ballpark.

I believe there are PLENTY of people that realize why JICs' cost more than a $200springs+$450AGXs+$100mounts/boots+$200camber plates = $950, however I think there is something holding buyers back.

 

Ballpark price? What price would you buy them for TODAY?

I'm just wondering how much business JIC loses because of their pricing games that artificially inflate the price to $1900-1950, only to sell them for $1500-1600. Demand should dictate price not the otherway around.

What price would you slap down your CC for TODAY?
