I can get them for a good price and I was wondering if you all think it's worth it. What would you compare these to? Pro's and Con's? I'm am planning to use these on a boosted honda putting down some serious power. help me out thanks.

 

JIC makes good suspension pieces...but you're going to get owned by the mods for a "tech" question in the Road Racing and Autocross forum.

 

What do you plan on using the car for?

Unless its for track use its probably overkill.

 

Yeah what RJ said. What are you planning to use this setup for (and if you say canyon carving I *will* reach through this monitor and....)?

If all you do is street driving save your money. High spring rate coilovers make a lousy daily-driving suspension. Get some good tires and some good shocks and that's all you need.

Or if you must have some tuckage, just cut a few coils off the spings and slam it on the OE shocks. Yo.

 

Ask to see real shock dyno graphs so you can see what their real function is and how large their range of adjustment is. They are certainly pretty and have all the buzzwords but the parts that really function are on the inside. Unless your car is a static piece of art show car, pretty shocks don't mean anything.

Look at the dyno curves and ask someone if you aren't familiar with them. The shape of the curve will tell a lot about how the shock will perform in different situations. More force alone is not necessarily a good thing (high speed end for example), it is when and where it makes good force. More adjustment range is a good thing as that gives you more tuning range within the valving. 15 clicks is fine as long as they make a real difference and not all within a very small range.

I plan on using them for a high hp turbo setup. Im gonna be doing it mainly to get good traction at the track (1/4 mile drag). Is it overkill for that?

 

You absolutely want to talk with someone about drag suspension in particular then - it is VERY specialized and I'd venture to guess that a set up tweaked to work best on the strip is going to be a huge compromise anywhere else.

bump, need some info from the drag racers please, thanks.
