Re: JIC-Magic (pkek)
Well, we just installed a set of JIC FLT-A2 full coil overs on my boys 2k2 Maxima. DAMN! they made a HUGE difference. I personally think they are awsome. All stainless construction makes them a bit heavy, but they come with everything to be a great street/track suspension. Hope you are ready for a lil ruff ride on the street with the pillow mounts, but personally I like that feeling.
Good Luck.
Oh and ease of install is a huge plus.

Re: JIC-Magic (spanky)
JIC stuff is bad ***...when i was at SEMA last year they had a 350z that was all done. It was dope to say the least. Their stuff is super clean and looks to be very high quality. I say go for it.

Re: JIC-Magic (showspeed.com)
i was also thinking about getting jic but a friend told me for the price you might as well get teins...he said for about 1200 dollars of teins you would have to spend about 1800 for the same thing but with jics...just a thought...i still want them anyway

Re: JIC-Magic (EKology)
Teins aren't full Stainless, are they?
oh last point...I am not sure how teins do height adjustment, but i thought for most it was in the spring perches. JIC's use a threaded lower body and u can adjust height without affecting spring rate.

Make sure the JIC stuff can be serviced in the states to be on the safe side. If they can`t, your screwed if you have any problems. This is what I like about Tein

not only that, but you also have to remember that all JIC's come with pillow mounts. with alot of the teins you have to pay like $400 extra. I spent alot of time talking with both Tein and JIC at SEMA both are excellent products. Upper level teins are great and now that they are going to adapt the EDFC for all of their suspension products....that should be a good benefit as well.

Re: JIC-Magic (SilverCivic2k)
Teins lower line is adjusted with the spring perch. The upper line such as the type flex is adjusted just as the jics on the lower shock body keeping the preload on the springs and ajusting the stroke.
edit: and yes JICs are fully serviceable in the US. They have a US head quarters in CA. just like Tein.
