I wanted to see if a JIC Magic Flt-A2 would be overkill compared to the Tein Type Flex for my 97-01 Prelude. I am going to be doing some racing at the track and I am going to try out autoX, on top of that it is my daily driver. I have not found many people with feedback on the JIC suspension and wanted to see if there was anybody here with feedback on their Prelude. Any help is appreciated.

nobody has any feedback on it? or have a link to where I could get some reviews on it for Preludes. I would like to see before shelling out $1600 for it.

I haven't heard anything good about te JIC's. Overpriced for what you get. Your flex's will do more than OK at the autoX. I just autoX'ed for the first time on my flex's yesterday and I was only 1.5 seconds off the first place runner.

the JIC's are a monotube damper, which means that they'll be harsher than a twin tube damper like the koni's in fast damping situations. it's not a big deal for hpde or a/x, but can be too much for some on the street.

the JIC's are a pretty good suspension, however, i don't trust anything made by JIC. they have a host of in house quality-control/customer service problems that makes any dealings with them unnecessarily difficult. i know of at least 2 people here who have the FLT-A2's and they like them, however, i think the FLEX or GC+Koni will be just fine for what you just described.

If you want something comparable to JIC without the drama, look into the Buddy Club racing spec dampers.
