I don't have either, but JIC Magic is supposed to be the cream of the crop in suspension. If you want to do it right and have the money, go JIC.

 

Get JICs email sales@mmsnyc.net for a good price. He is an authorized distributor.

 

the only thing is that there expensive

You get what you pay for. Ground control also requires shocks, which add another $400-500 on. JICs also have camber plates, which from stillen cost $250. Also JICs have adjustable shock perches, which you can't get in any other suspension setup except Progress coilovers. Also JICs have completely seperate rebound and compression adjustment, no other maxima shock can do that. So in the end it's not that bad.

 

If price is a problem get GC's with AGX shocks.

But you cant compare GC's to JICs, GC's are an adjustable 'sleeve' that slips over a shock body (that was not designed for this) and rests on the lower spring perch. I dont know if the GC design has changed since 2 1/2 years ago, but a friend of mine had GC's and tokico's and the lower spring perch on the rear shock broke on the highway when he hit a bump and the sleeve slip all the way down towards the bottom of the shock! The rear right side was like 1" from the ground...(looked like it had bags) I cant remember if tokico replaced the shock under warranty or not.

JICs, however, are a true coilover design, but keep in mind it is a race bread suspension, but you can adjust the rebound for a softer ride (FLT_A2).

You can also contact Cattman for a set Progress Coilovers, also a true coilover design, but its only height adjustable, (cannot adjust ride stiffness) But it was designed on a maxima so Im sure the ride is good.

You can still email sales@mmsnyc.net for a good price on GC/AGX combo as well he will beat any advertised price

 

I went to Cattman and couldnt find the Progress Coilovers ?? How much do they run ??

MAXIN, how do they ride ?? I saw you have them on your car

I have the old gen 2's not the progress. I think he retails the progress for ~$1350+ shipping, so its up there with the JICs... (still way cheaper then what I paid for the gen 1 (and later gen 2 upgrade) when they first came out years back A set of JICs will be replacing my dead gen 2's (purchased way before I even knew about his progress set... but I like the more adjustablility anyway. (they werent installed cuz I was gonna part the car out.)

 

I'm pretty sure you have to call Cattman to get a price and more information about the progress coilovers. You could also ask Cheston (Chebosto) because he helped prototype them for progress/cattman.

 

There is a group deal presale going on in the group deal forum for the cattman/progress coilover system.
