JIC Suspension Question

How do you adjust the dampers on the JIC Cross coil-overs ? I want to set it to the softest... Do I turn toward the left or right ?

Help... My ***** are in danger due to bumpy ride....

To adjust the damper on the JICs, turn the **** full clockwise to get the stiffest setting, turn full counter-clockwise for the softest setting.

I know how you feel, I feel like the flinstones riding around, I gotta get mine turned down as well and adjusted back for the track days.


BTW do you still have those GT3 seats? P.M. me if you are still interested in selling them.

I have my front 2of 15 and the rears 4 of 15 this is ideal and I bet youll love it. Leave the rear a bit stiff for the weight of the motor. Seems to balance the car very well. IMO

I have lighter springs in stock if you need a lesser rate. What are you runing now? I keep most of that stuff around.

I was curious if the coilovers were going to be too bouncy and stiff. I've had that problem on previous setups and ended up not liking the ride at all. I'm glad to hear that the softest setting is just a tad stiffer than stock.

I just had a couple questions:
1. On the softest setting can you tell a difference in handling characteristics of the car?
2. Are the dampers noisy or clunky, squeaky or anything like that?
3. How far did you lower the car?

Thanks for your answers if you reply!

I have the medium springs, I just need the dampening softer.

You can set it at any height you specify (mine is at X-73, which is between
stock and GT2 height).
