Default TEINS or JIC

i am in quite a dilemna, i really don't know which coils to get. i drive a 95civic 4dr dx and my frend sed basic damper would be fine, but he can get me a good deal on basically any coil thats jdm. so im also considering JIC magics. i wanted to know if any of you have either the JIC magic, tien basic damper, or tein super street. i wanted to know how it rides, how much it drops and would u recommend it.

I would go with the TEINs..perferably the super streets since you can adjust the dampening.

i would stay away from jic. if u want teins i say the FLEX with the EDFC. they r comfortable for street and when u adjust them for a track they perform well.

They both suck, but given those two choices, I'd buy tein - at least they can be serviced here in the US. And green is cool right?

Do not get JICs.. I know 4 people that had their shocks blown. Can't say enough about my Tein Flex :thumbsup: best thing I ever bought for my car.

jic has the worst customer support

tein, hks, and endless are the only companies that do revalving here in the states. so you don't have to send them to Japan when they blow.

well based on my experience go with H&R fullcoilovers. I was choosing between omni/skunk2 full/gc and H&Rs. I went with H&R and boy I'm very happy I did.

I had good experiences with H&R springs before and that's one thing that made me lean on H&R coilovers. I lower the thread to the lowest setting and it tucked my tires really good. Awesome ride, better than stock and corners very good.
