Speakings of JIC's. Anyone know how they compare to the PSS9's? I'm thinking of switching. Thanks!

He means 2 from softest and 4 from softest.

I run mine 5 front 8 rear from softest on a 965 . w/10 & 14 KG program..
.I did find when you run too soft it does not work well you fell the springs only little damping.

I have this problem too, how do you dial out the twitchy feeling in the steering?

Which JIC setup did you get? They make 7/10 KG, 8/12 KG, and 10/14 KG. I have the 7/10 KG setup and it rides better than stock.

I have 7/10, it must be a matter of setup, but I have the twitchy steering that CPU mentions.

I have 8/12 and mine is stiff!

I will try softer settings. I have set right in middle between soft and
hard. Mine is not twitchy at all, steer in and driving on freeway is all good.

Guys also I use 36/40 cold PSi for my tire pressure for the JIC's. this helps rear bump skip which I used to have at 44 lbs. so again 36/40 and 2 clicks from soft front and 4 clicks from rear. I have the 8kg fronts and the 10kg rears so MArty unlike you my rear is softer. I would try 2 clicks form soft all the way around and 40 in the rear tire cold. Let me know if that helps your set up at all. Mines a dream!
