Pick ONE.

 

The highest you are willing to pay, right?

 

$5


Yes, the highest. Is that not implied?

 

Without clarifying, I would say $1,300. With clarification, the choice changes.

 

$1300 is close, I voted $1400-$1499.

Alright, to the guys voting <$1300 PLEASE clarify.

Is that:
1)<$1000
2)$1000-$1099
3)$1100-$1199
4)$1200-$1299

If 1), then you cheap **** need to WAKE UP! These aren't GC here.

 

Well Alex unless u find 1 used ur not getting it for under 1K. I dont have a set but can get it under $XXXX.

 

I know that! That's why I didn't list it in the poll. I just want to make sure some of those guys aren't in fairy land.

You got PM.

 

Thanks for correcting the $XXXX, I was about to do that.

 

 

hey guys,
i've been contemplating opening a dealer account with JIC, i can get you guys very good prices on the coilover kits but i will only release the pricing via email to steve@frankencar.com i can tell you that 1300 will Definetly not be attainable but i'll see what i can do for you guys. let me know.

Unless you have about $10K up front on orders, don't even bother.

 

Group Deal!

 

I voted <$1300. Before I can answer the question above, how do the JIC's ride compared to any of the combination lowering spring/strut combos? For example, my Eibach/KYB GR2's. Is the ride firmer, stiffer, harsher, etc., whatever you want to call it. If the ride is stiffer than my setup, my vote is $0. If the ride is less harsh or equal, then $1100-$1199. Since I am in the older minority (46 years young), I would like to see an adjustable suspension that puts ride comfort and LOOKS(lowering), ahead of the ultimate best handling and making the fillings fall out of my teeth on every bump. That kind of ride kills the fun/enjoyable part of the car no matter how good it LOOKS. By other comments/questions concerning suspensions and ride quality from other people, I'm not the only one who has these concerns.

i won't need that much i've already spoken with them. i jsut need a couple people to step up and we can get the ball rolling i might already have one, if we get another it should be a go and then anyone else can get in.

 

My thoughs exactly but that apprx amount has to be met be4 the order is made. Soooo its kinda hard to get that much $ forwarded to you from a group of people and tell them you will order the suspension after 6 or so more people decide to order. Who knows how long its gonna take, not to mention the wait after its ordered. Im guessing around 2week after the order is place be4 any1 sees the parts if ordered direct from JIC. Unless they have some in stock.

 

Any input to the above from anyone who has the suspension installed?

 

how much of a drop does it give your car compared to stock?

-i know my h&r's only gave me like 1.5 in. drop

 

My observation from people here:
--------------------------------
GC(Rough)
Eibach
JIC
H&R
Stock(Soft)

I'm not sure if Eibachs are better or worse than JIC from peoples opinion, however the JIC's are usually lowered 2"+ and still retain most of the stock suspension travel. Lowering springs DRASTICALLY reduce the already limited amount of suspension travel Maximas have. So, JICs are supposedly impossible to bottom out even at SUPER low drops like Kev has, whereas I bottom out the rear of my STOCK SE suspension on big dips regularly. I'm all for handling, but I can't stand the feeling of bottoming out. Also, lowering springs(excluding the TIENS) don't lower the front enough and the back too much, so these will allow me to customize the look I want while retaining a very "good" ride quality.

I believe JICs are the BEST of both handling and ride comfort, but you take a hit in the wallet. I'm waiting to hear back from one member who is changing the standard 9K/6K JIC springs for 8K/5K springs to see if it helps ride comfort.

 

Well if u sit ther and add up the cost of a suspensio thats got adjustable ride hieght, adjutable camber, adjustable struts, and the springs...the total is still gonn come out to be anywere from 1300-1500 for all the parts. It wouldjsut be smarted to wait and get the JIC and if you have to pay a bit more then so be it, your payin for a top of the line product.

 

No spring/strut/camber setup will be comparable to a completely engineered package that has been tuned for a specific application.

Plus, JICs are the only setup that allows lowering, while retaining suspension travel.

 

Thats what im sayin. Id rather pay a little more and get the quality of JIC then 3-4 diff brands combined together which will turn out to be around the same dollar amount anyway. For now ill just gonna chill with the Toks and Teins but I will seriously consider geting JIC in the future.
