Default Zeal b6 vs JIC FLAT2

So ive narrowed down my choices to these two and id like some input on both of them. I think they are matched well. Which performs better and who has better service?

Edit: the zeal kit isnt available for RSX or EP3 (didnt know which car you were talking about) according to endless usa's website.

If its not, then its a poor assumption on my part.

If you are using them for autox/road courses then i'd love to hear about them.

I would say Zeal because they addressed the tie rod issues.

I havent been able to use/ride on this coilover yet.

F 14 R 20.. i think it will be okay for the track..

i wouldnt recommend getting JIC FLAT2.. if u are really serious about getting Zeal V6 dun get JIC!

I have Tein HA on my DC5. I feel it is not too bad.. i think turn better then JIC..

i recommend not getting Tein HA also b/c in japan lots of companies are comparin thier coil to the HA to make thiers better.. ex. (Bilstien Yamano concept [duno if it is proper translation cuz it was from a japanese magazine.. ]

Why not JIC? Can you provide some good reasons why not?

I like the Zeal's b/c of the tie rod issue they addressed, as someone mentione previoulsy. But they are expensive....which is always a consideration.

I went through the same decision process. I opted for Zeal b6 for $1450. The JIC's are roughly the same price. I actually rode on the zeals for a few laps around beaver run and they were terrific. Their pillow ball mounts do not introduce much harshness either like some other brands PBM's. If you want them talk to Leo@jdm spec performance.

Aamir

edit: For some reason I thought I was in the type-r forum. either way, talk to leo@jdm spec and see what price he can get.
