Never used JIC myself but from what i hear they can be pretty stiff. If your car is a daily driver it might be a bad choice if you live in an area with some really rough roads. As far as performance on the track I haven't heard anything bad yet.
I was at JIC N.A. this last summer where I met the owner/operator Jon and the customer service guys. You have to remember with their "horrioble" customer service that they do A LOT more than just build and sell coilovers. Their shop was full of all sorts or porsches (CROSS suspension project), a 700+hp GTR, etc, all of which were being worked on along with them having a drift team, and having to keep the cars up to par to compete. They just get swamped, I ended up doing a clutch in their S13 and pulling the tomei 2.2L SR from their S15 because they were so swamped with work a couple of days before an event. They do all the assembling of their coil overs in house, which does leave room for error with how busy they get, but they do make it right if there was a mistake, or if it were to fail (at least in my experience they've made it right). They also sell the JDM ones out of their shop as we left there with 4 sets of JDM FLT-A2's.raen419 said:mods, move this to the suspension section.
tuner1014, the people who post in the suspension section know suspension, or try to help based on what they know. in this section (i'm not bashing anyone) there are more noobs and people who don't know suspension or whatever, just basic maintenance and things...and some who don't even know that much...lol
as far as JIC FLT-A2's, here's my opinion.
JIC of north america SUCKS. their customer service blows, and for some reason their coilovers are known to have some defects.
keep shopping for coilovers. there's nothing special about these, don't be hooked on them just b/c of the colors.
if you want good FLT-A2s, try and get some from japan. this is one of the few times i will say that ordering a "jdm" part is actually better than it's "usdm" counterpart.
i hear that there were som defects. i also heard that its a hit or miss coilover. if you get a good one it is bomb but if its a lemon it sucks. hmm. ive heard this on honda forums and what not but never heard anything for nissans. i know its prolly the same but. whats your thoughts on it?raen419 said:mods, move this to the suspension section.

you said it. i wish i could but them in 8/6 spring rates but eehh tahts life. if i cannot stand it i can just buy some springs with the money i save.raen419 said:spring rates can't allow or dis-allow weight transfer.
only handle the weight transfer better.
however, i don't see the point of these uber-stiff rates. looks to me like it's just another fad. like flushness, lowness, wide wheels, deep dish, etc.
