Default Buddy Club vs JIC

With summer coming up, I'm starting to plan for new suspension on the hatch. I've narrowed it down to either JIC FLT-A2's or Buddy Club Racing Spec's. I can get both for about $1500. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with either and if so, what was it like? Thanks.

My brother got Racing spec dampers on his 99' hatch. Love it a lot when we go autocross with it. Spring rate is 14k/10k.

How does it feel on the street? I've got an *** of bumpy roads where I live, so I'm trying to get something that won't break my back every time I go to work/school, etc.

Since you had both, which would you consider more streetable? I'm lookin at a lot of street driving with the occasional auto-x and track day. The price is through a friend.

Damn, guess JIC's out of the picture now. Maybe I'll reconsider the Teins.

true JIC's US distributor has really gone to hell but i think that is a separate issue

as far as there product is. i think it's the best coilover setup i've used. both track & street.
