Default JIC suspension

I currently have a set of Skunk2 coil sleeves with tokico adjustables on my 97 accord. My friend just put on a set of JIC's for his sentra and I took a ride with him and they are really nice. I looked on there website and they only make them for the 98+ accords. What is the main differences between the 5th and 6th gen suspension. I want to know if I can make them work with out major modification.

i have the same set up, except i ride on koni yellows. how come you're just looking at the JICs? i know they have a nice ride and all, but what about a set of A'pex-i or other JDM built coilover assemblies? I can tell by your comments and your car that you are deep into the scene and have tried out quite a few things. are the JICs really the best you've tried?

and yes, the 6ths are pretty different from the 5ths if i'm not mistaken.

From where I have been looking they have a really good setup. I like to take it to open track night and want the abality to adj a little bit more. The TIEN system doesn't really off that much in the way of adj. I had a set of apex before on my teg and they were good but after seeing the JIC's they had a lot of options. If you have any better system I am game in looking into them.

ha ha ha! no problem. most of the details are at endless, but like i was telling btlfed1, the build quality is excellent, and they have that overall JDM build quality (such as Kei-Office and the like) that the pros look for. They have the fully threaded shock body with the dual collar perches, solid aluminum mounts standard and those are upgradable to adjustable pillow ball mounts front AND rear. Just a few things that set them apart from say, and H&R or an Intrax. They rarely have booths, but when they do, look for them and check 'em out.
