Thinking about suspension again, looks to me like... Options

[Jeremy1210]

From what I read from people posting abotu Konis n stuff.... I am thniking that is I spend 600 on Konis, 200 on sportlines, and then 400(about what people said total install), why don't I just go ahead and get the JIC Sa1 or whatever it was. Would that just be the better bet. I mean hell its only another 300 bucks. What do you all think, or would the Konis and sportlines be better quality?

The JIC setup should be better than the Koni/Springs setup. It's a matched spring/shock set that was designed to work together. Plus, since it doesn't require using a spring compressor, you should be able to install it yourself and then go get an alignment.
Of course, I haven't upgraded my suspension yet(other than a strut tower bar), I'm just relaying what I've heard. The Tein SS setup is supposed to be pretty good as well, and should be about the same price as the JIC.

I agree with aaron. The only thing I might add is the set that JIC sells for the USDM 6gc doesn't have adjustable damping. The konis and the other setup would. Just something else to consider.

i think.........he
just wants you to consider that you can make the ride a little more smoother on normal roads with the Konis and eibachs...but since the JICs are made to work together, they will work better in the curves.

Well, what I'm saying is you need to consider how serious you are about this. If you just want to lower the car and want it to handle a little better and ride ok, then the eibach/koni combo is perfect for you. If you want to race and you're really serious about performance and are willing to sacrifice a little ride quality, then go with the GC/koni combo and specify your spring rates (or ask me). If you just have too much money and want the biggest, baddest suspension you can get, have JIC make you a custom setup thats adjustable. The regular non-adjust JIC kit is probably in between the GC/koni and the eibach/koni in terms of performance.

Best performance setup produced for the 6th gen, i think is the GC/Koni. Ride is really bumpy, but handles amazing. Just make sure you specify good spring rates. I got 450 in the front and 375 in the rear.
