i have JIC FLT A2's also. i had megan coilovers before and man i can feel the difference. these coilovers feel great even on harder settings. not as harsh as the megans. the only thing i liked about the megans was it was easier to adjust ride height

I normally don't care if there is a minor failure but they refused to help me and tried to make me buy another one. :rolleye:

I hate bashing manufacturers but I will say that a search on JIC will turn up their less than stellar reputation with the S2Ki crowd.

BTW, KW's can be serviced here in the US now.

Yet another vote for KW, specifically the V3s.

Ok, so i tried the search on coilovers, but nobody seems to stay on topic, or answers a question. people seem to stray away and talk about the stock system and lowering springs. My question is, what is a good set of coilovers for everyday use, and occasional track? I don't care to know about lowering springs or how good the stock system is. I just want to know what is a good quality set of coilovers for MY04+. I don't mind a more harsh ride. Price does not matter too much to me. I'm looking for durable and a noticable difference in performance from the stock suspension.

EDIT: I'm lookin to drop an inch, so again, comfortability's not that important to me. I'm all about fun!
To answer your question, the KW Variant 3 is something you should seriously consider.

I won't throw a sales pitch in here but you'll find that there are more than a few satisfied users on the board.

I am leaning towards H&R myself. From what I hear they are similar to Pss's. For some reason nobody likes them I hear they are soft, I feel that's just H&R's approach to netural balancing for the car, plus I drive on the streets and never on the track so they should work out.

I will put money that 90% of the people who posted so far havent tested or driven over 2 suspention set ups to know what they are talking about. Someone has stock suspention, they get a set of Ebay specials and of course its gonna be stiffer then stock so they praise it. For the BEST suspention set up there isnt anything else that comes close to Koni Yellows Matched with a set of PROPER GC coilovers. Get the right spring rate, set up the correct compression/rebound, and they will outperform every coilover combo < $2,000....for only $900. Anyways that just my double 02
