I just installed some DROPZONE coilovers in my car and they are working great! If you don't want to spend a lot but can affored about $150. Go to Ebay!

if money is no object jic magic or tein coilovers. the next step down would be ground controls and koni shocks.

I saw Tein and Tanabe True coilovers for about 1200+ a set. Haven't seen JIC. As far as being tested, how can we tell until someone has actually tested them? Anyone here have any of these?

your best bet is either Jic or Tanabe.
The only difference is that you cant adjust the damper with the tanabe application, but you can witht he Jic. Here they are for those who dont know. Jic Magic website...... Buy them here. Picture  Actuall product may vary from picture above. Tanabe website...... For Tanabe, you have two choices. The sustec pro SO-C and SO-c type 2 Sustec Pro SO-C Sustec Pro SO-C type 2 Pictures   All three are great products, but I personally am leaning towards the Jic Coilovers.

Hey Sphinx what turned you over to JIC? I've heard good stuff about them but do you have any actual reason for chosing it?

Glad I came across this thread. I was out looking today for my 94 ST. I will look into the JIC, but had some details pointed out about the Tein and Tanabe. The drop on the Tein doesn't compare to the Tanabe. Look at the rear specs. I believe the Tein is only.6.

well, i'm still not sure which to get. I love the specs on both the tanabe and JIC. But the only difference is that you can adjust the damper on the JIC. I know a couple people who are using the tanabe coilovers, and they say that they're great. I guess i'll just keep looking for a lil more feedback on both, then i'll decide. |

Are you talking about coilovers? It can lower at least 2". You might be talking about springs. |
