For the guys who have the JIC 1 or 2 or TEIN SS, which one do you guys have and how is the ride?

I want to buy the JIC's but there is a 5 way adjustable or 15 way adjustable. The tein has the 16 way adjustable I think. Is it really that important to have the 15 way adjustable? Its a big price difference.

I'm thinking about buying the 5 way adjustable and calling it the day but the Tein is the same price as well.

What do you guys think? I'm looking for ride quality.

 

Where are you buying these from?

 

JICS either one is BETTER than the teins...

 

I have the JIC FLT-A2s, I like them very much. As for needing all of the levels of adjustability, I'm not sure. I set mine 12 out of 15 towards the stiff side and never looked back. I have read some complaints about the ride quality here on the board, but I have recieved nothing but compliments from fellow car enthusiasts about the comfort and stability of the ride. I guess it is too personal for you to really rely on some post on the org when it comes to ride quality. I'm really happy with mine. I can't speak for the FLT A1s or the Teins but they are sure to be a high quality product. That being said the ride quality of any coilover is going to be dramatically different compared to stock, and probably not too much of a difference between the brands. This probably doesn't help you decide, but it is what experience I have.

 

Thanks for your comments. The ones you have are quite expensive indeed. I'm thinking about trying out the Tein SS coilovers and I think no one on this org has these.

 

I think HNDA ETR just got them, I forgot where I saw this, I think in the for sale forum, look for an ad for JIC flt a1s

 

I have the a1's and love them. People that ride in my car expect it to be hell and then get in and are surprised by how the ride is. I don't know if they are available right now. I know someone is selling their a1's on the classifieds. I grabbed the last set in the U.S. back in like the beginning of july. Whether or not they have more in is beyond me.
Good luck w/whatever you do and post some pics when it's all done
