Anyone know the difference between the JIC FLT-A1 and FLT-A2? Only thing I can figure out is a1 is 5 way adjustable and the other is 15 way adjustable. What would you guys recommend out of the two for a daily driver with maybe some x-cross..

Unless you plan to track it regualarly, I think the 15 ways are going to be overkill. Hell, I wouldn't want 15 different adjustablity settings...I'd get my car so far out of what was a decent handling machine...

The A1 is valved softer for US roads, and in most cases the A2 has simply has stiffer springs, and more damper adjustability.

However, in the case of most Honda/Acura applications (save for the prelude) the A1 is not damper adjustable, and does not have upper mounts. I went with the A1 setup because they will be used 90% for daily driving, and I would not have really used all the adjustments on the A2.

Mine came in the other day and I have yet to install them so I cannot give you a review...but I am sure after I get them in and have them corner balanced I will be awestruck.


In my opinion, the A2 is really too much suspension if your car will be used mainly on the street.




Thank you mr UPS man

dude, those look soooo nice. interested to see how they handle.

Yeah, I am waiting to hear back from Kyle at Wired Speed though. If you look closely you will see two say FR and two say RR. I do not seem to have any for the left side. I cannot see how it would make a difference...has to be just stickers...but I wanna be sure after dropping that much on them.

doesnt make a difference

georgelb

Yeah, I figured they just threw the wrong stickers on or something. Do you know if you are supposed to run them without dust boots, or to use the o.e. ones?

i have the a2 on my eg and they handle awesome but are a little too much for me to tune completely. i will take a lot of time to figure out the best setup but thats fine for me. i just have a lot to grow into. anyways the coilovers are top quality. the spring rate is very stiff for the street but if you can hang with that then it all good. i dont mind but other people who dont know anything about racing and cars dont like it. but who cares its my ride.

Yup, I love my FLT-A2s as well... I can definitely grow into them rather than end up replacing components as my driving skills improve.
