Questions about JRZ...

I undestand there are some members on this board who are currently using the JRZ suspension system, I was wondering if you guys could offer your insight on what to expect as far as maintenance and practicality, to people who are thinking about switching from the traditional coilovers?

I have had them for the past year or so, and havent had any problems with them to date. I am using Bilstein springs at 300 & 500 (or thereabouts). The car dropped 17mm front and 19mm back. I am also using the Gt2 sways.

Its a firm ride, especially with 19s, but handles well. As far as alignment goes you are better off asking Vipertestarossa (Ron) since he did the alignment on them last. If i am not mistaken, its not possible to zero in the camber since its lowered. If it would be any help, i will go and dig up the alignment sheet and give you the numbers.

Thanks for the informative details, I'll go over all the notes before I make the final decision.
