Confused about Suspension...JIC's or GC ?

Aight ive had so far Sprint/AGX and Eibach/AGX and I want coilovers...I bought the GC/Koni setup from thebigsadler and there in my house right now...im confused if i should install them in my car or i may decide to sell them and just buy JIC's and be done with it ? Im kinda a fan of the true coilover setup

1) Install GC/Koni...I may have to uninstall if im not happy

2) Buy JIC's and be done with the suspension questions

www.redlinemax.com Ange has the pricing for the FLT-A2 on her site, btu you can e-mail her about the SF-1(non-adjustable dampnening w/ adjustable ride height). I ended up purchasing mine from Avalon Racing when he was clearing them out a while back. I'm in the same situation. I don't think my Apex/AGX setup handles well at all, and I'm ready to just invest in a real set of coilovers, and be done with it. Imagine being slammed 3 inches w/ almost no sacrifice in ride quality.

You are dreaming if you think you can slam your car 3 inches with almost no sacrifice in ride quality... Go JIC FLT A2's if you have the money...

I would really like to know how much worse the JIC ride over stock or even over a lowering spring/AGX...The price isnt even that bad considering a regular set of true coilovers is about $1200-$1400 and i think JIC's are $1650
