JIC Coilovers installed!

Went to the shop just to put some spark plugs in and ended up getting JICs done too! Damn I am an impulse shopper, I need to go to some kind of meetings to cure this disease. Anyway, the car looks great sitting lower, tun in feels much more agressive, and handling is nicely improved. Body roll is non-existant, etc. The car feels more solid now than it did before (stock) and I couldn't be happier... well I could be happier if my wheels were here tomorrow; I almost feel like I did when I was 8 years old counting the days to Christmas for the next video game system.

Can't wait to take this one to the track, wish I had weekends off. Does anyone go tracking on the weekdays?

I will occasionally track during the week. I prefer it actually because it's easy to play hooky from work but diffiicult to ditch my daughters. I have a midweek day in September after this weekend's event.

Matt, where did you have the JIC's installed, just curious, wanted to see what alignment settings you ended up with compared to mine and what settings your running on the street also..
BTW Laguna has a DE day two weeks from this Friday and another on a Tuesday in November and there is the Friday in December at Fontana..

I have all my work done at Speed Gallery in Studio City. They are awesome guys and do the best work I have seen since I started modding cars 8 years ago. Unfortuneately when I had this spontanious install there wasn't enough time for me to get an allignment, and I have been at work nonstop over the last 2 days. I am going to go tomorrow morning and have it done, upgrade to '04 spark plugs and get an oil change (I change my oil every 3k miles).

As far as pictures go, I have some crappy pics of the car the day after I bought it (still had orange side markers ). Funny thing is that my friend barrowed one of my dig. cams and lost the charger, I ordered a new one, it arrived the other day and it was the wrong one! My other dig. camera I cant find the damn charger for it. I think my X GF took it by mistake when she moved out cuz she had the same cam. *****! I will get some pics on asap. Wait till the HREs get here

yep, they love me more than their families... I have dropped almost $20k in mods and only had my car for 1 month, plus sent them about $15k worth of business referrals in this last month as well. I might as well buy some stock in their company.

How does JIC compare to Moton and JRZ?

I would say between those two and PSS9s. The JICs are single adjustable.

When you guys talk about the JIC's are you refering to the line made by them called Cross? I think that was the name I saw in the ad. If there is more than one type of system made by JIC, anybody know what the differences are? Just curious.

Thanks,

JIC is a japanese aftermarket company who has some stuff for european cars.
They are very good quality. There are some who are better, but not very many.
