Where's the best price for JIC-Cross Suspension

I am looking to upgrade to JIC-Cross suspension for my '02 tt. I thought I saw a good price advertised at By Design but can not find again. Where can I find the best price (list is $2980)?
TIA Rob

I would stay clear of JIC unless you are planing on tracking the car alot. I had it on mine for a week and couldn't take it.On public roads, if you'r car doesn't break apart, your back will. Plus the build quality sucks. I have PSS9's now and can't be happier.

I watched the Porsche tech wrestle with it for awile before getting it in. He said, no two kits he has installed have been the same! Also, it required some modification to fit right. It was a good learning expierence.

Really. I have the JICs on my 993TT and it looks like the build quality was a lot better than the PSS9s. One of the PSS9 shocks had a messed up thread and I went through a ton of pain to get them to RMA that one shock.

I've done the JIC coilover install twice now... first time by myself in the garage, and the 2nd with help at a tuner shop when I swapped springs.

The only modification required was about 60 seconds of dremmeling to make the sway bar end holes bigger to receive beefier end link bolts. They are a ***** to get in if you don't dissemble the front knuckles, but I was able to do it.

For streetability, go with PSS9. JIC is much stiffer... more suitable for the track. The verdict is still out on their softer setups, as I've not read any response yet from anyone who has them. I actually may go that route. Realize, their softest setup is still probably approx twice as stiff as the PSS9s.
