JIC Coilovers

[NA1 #2853]

I've had these babies for awhile, but having someone back into my car and hospitalize it for a while kept me from putting them in......

This sunday i set some time aside, i'll have some installation pics to add also.

These are the JIC FLT-A2's for the NSX. The knob at the top adjusts the compression & rebound, and the shock body height is adjustable along with the spring perch. Sweet metal upper pillow mounts, although i might press in some metal heim joints into the lower mount. But we'll see how these go as-is right now.

On my other cars i've used G/A/B, and also have used Cusco.... lets see how these go! I've already sold 5 sets to WRX owners, 2 sets to GS300/400's, 2 RSX sets, 3 Civic sets, 1 Prelude, and 2 Eclipses.

And every single one of them agree it was the best mod they have done to their car!

Driving Impressions!

Just got these babies put in..... Everything pretty much went ok. although the very thick shock body was VERY VERY close to the control arm. Put a jack under the control arm and lifted and lowered the control arm through the entire movement range, and it just barley clears. I would of liked them to have included a bracket to clamp around the lower protion of the shock, to have a brake line mount but i'll make one and put it on next weekend.

Its definitely stiffer, i have the settings on 8/8 (out of 16/16 adjustability), and have the spring perches set at NO preload, and have the lower shock body adjusted for a inch lower than my Intrax lowering springs that were on there before..... i think they were around 1.5", but its been awhile so i dont remember.
Definitely corners ALOT flatter than before, and i can feel the little dips and bumps in the road more, but it was not as bad as i expected it to be.

Next weekend i will corner balance it, and alinement done. Then play with the dampening.

While i was working on it found out that my rear passenger tire had a chuck missing out of the inner sidewall, so i am replaceing the rears tomorrow. So i'm really not going to push the car to hard until i fix that.
