After hearing all the stores about JIC being a harsher/firmer ride, it makes me want it more... I love it when it's firm, reason being, it seems as tho I can feel the road more, thus, it makes me feel like I have control over the vehicle.... of course this is only my opinion... but thanks for the input guys...

I went from stock to ROW to JIC 8/12's. The I find the JICs perfect. Not as harsh as ROW. Strangly enough, I don't find them much different feeling than stock over the usual road garbage, despite being set-up quite firm. I also installed the ajustible GT3 sway bars with ScarGo curved front drop links. Driving to work has never been better!

Devious996TT,

I have the PSS9 suspension kit. It was a good upgrade over the stock suspension. You should contact the tuners for more information regarding the comparisons between all suspension upgrades available. Todd at Evolution Motorsports, Stephen at Imagine Auto and Alex at Sharkwerks are all ears when it comes to technicalities. Goodluck with your future purchase.

We have been selling and installing JIC for quite some time and been extremely pleased with the performance. For a car that rarely goes to the track I would recommend the softer set up. The softer springs are still considerably stiffer then the stock springs. The performance and appearance will be dramatically better even with the softer springs.

Thanks for the info!.. hmm.. so, would you think the spring rate 8/12kg be ok?... I do like a stiffer ride...

When driving your Cab to the tea parties to meet the other ladies, you will be glad you elected to get the soft springs!
