Default JIC Magic FLT A2 - impression!

All I can say is that this coilovers ownz! I run it in my Teg with 10k/7k



and our Race Civic with (10k/8k I guess, cant remember) with a corner weighted RACE setup ordered from KS Motorsports (wiredspeed is the new name I think). I waited hella long on it, but it was worth to wait on the FLT A2 RACE suspension. The Civic won the mountain AutoX class in our country up to 1600 ccm and was 3rd best of all the other stronger cars. He had to fight against Suzuki Swift GTI and some VW Polo and Golf



If you want to upgrade your suspension, hands down on JIC Magic FLT A2.

Did you polish those bad boys up when you got them? Didn't look that shinny when I last saw them

I am glad you are liking them and running successfully.

Is your DC2 strictly a track car or is it a street car also? How are those springrates on the streets? The ride height is adjustable separate from the spring perch right?

I just drive oin the streets too. Full interior. The ride quality is realy not that bad on 10k/7k. The ride high don't effect the damping

We have the regular ones on special right now, the RS (Racing Series) are more expensive and require a wait (Austrian Type-R waited 3 months I think).

For the RS, we send JIC a description of your car and what you plan to do with it. Then their engineers make changes to the spring rates, dampening, valving, etc. based on their expertise and your plans. The coilovers are produced in Japan, sent by boat to JIC USA in CA and then to the dealer/shop/distributor.

Too bad my JIC's suck major *** for my RSX... sent them back twice.... I got a defective set with corrosion on the arms already....

then the rear passenger damper goes bad without leaking, and then the front housings get ovalized and start making my front wheels wobble when my car is jacked up without making the tie rod move....

just got them back today, and maybe 3rd time's a charm, but who knows.. JIC gave me a HARD *** TIME!!! JIC

run that same FLT-A2 on my 00ITR only 17k on it but its street driven and hate the ride quality...its not too low its the specified ride height.have everything set right..it bottoms out and all..really not satisfied with it for $1850.
had TEIN HA on before and that rides 100% better..had a few problems with the TEIN HA leaking oil thats why i decided to switch..i would have to say in my opinion that the FLT-A2 is probably better for the track only and not for the daily streets..

Hey austrian type-r, are the front or rear pillow ball mounts camber adjustable? i just ordered a set and i am curious. and how are these coilovers on bumpy roads if set to a soft setting? ive got plenty of bumpy roads around here. but ultimately, i will be racing next summer

No camber adjustment possible, I think no brand has this feature, you have to buy a camber kit. I have setted the adjustment screw at 10 from low to hard and at 6 in the rear. I think there ar 15 setting points. The ride qualitiy is

correct me if i am wrong, i dont think you could adjust camber from the pillowballs even if they were adjustable.(on the civic/integra suspension setup)

Had FLT-A2's on my civic(RIP)
loved them to death
i tracked the car a couple time. just on open track days.
they worked great
i had several comments from people driving behind me about how my car looked like it was on rails (no body roll)
when i get my insurance money (and a new car this will be my 1st purchase)
that is after i get some serious anti theft
