My application is for an ITR. does anyone have any specs on the springs? Length/diameter/spring rates?

As far as i know, the spring rates are 10k up front and 7k in the rear.

I have a chance to buy a pair of swift 16k spring rates and planned on using them in front while moving the 10k springs in the rear. does anyone know if that will work?

do i need them re-valved? anyone?

 

16k is almost 900lbs. Wouldn't make a fun street car.

 

this i already know. its not a street car, im building it for the track. thanks anyway

 

Unless some one has a lot of time spent with them, they can't give you the answers about valving you are looking for.

JIC burned a lot of people on this site, mostly racers. So they haven't been very popular on this site.


Second you are working on an *** backwards setup. 900 lbs front springs? A little much IMO, and run 500 or 600lbs rear springs???

through the 16k in the back and keep the 10k up front.

 

yeah, i heard jic's customer service is horrible so it might be time to just sell em and get new suspension.

as far as it being *** backwards, i realized that and wanted to keep it that way since they come stiffer in front than the rear. if worse came to worse, its as simple as swapping them.

 

I would make sure they can handle that much rate. If not, I would just look into something already re-valved from Koni. Much less guesswork. And I may be wrong, but I thought the JIC stuff used 7", 60mm ID springs.

 

personally i wouldn't run 16k/10k, but wouldn't 10k/16k be mega tail happy?

either way, i don't think EG/DC FLT-A2s can handle much more than +2kg/mm all around. when i had mine i couldn't tell the difference between full soft and full stiff. narrow rebound adjustment range FTL

+1

 

The FLT-A2 dampers are pretty notorious for blowing even with the standard spring rates; doubling that would probably make them feel severely underdamped and likely reduce the lifespan even more . . .

I wish you best of luck having them re-valved, because JIC's service in the US is abysmal.

 

yeah, i figured the higher rates would age them faster since my jic's already have a good amount of miles on them.

but yeah, heard about their customer service which is why i dont plan on getting them rebuilt or re-valved. im steering clear from that and getting new suspension once these take a dump. thanks for the responses

 

i personally would recommend some PIC selects with 12k front and 10k rears i think you would be more than happy with them, cause i know i am
