Default JIC Magic Coil-Overs

Has anyone installed the JIC Magic FLTA2 coil-overs? How do they compare with the HKS HyperMax IIs? Thanks!

For track use (exclusively) get the JIC coilovers they will suit you better with the slightly stiffer spring rates and firmness.


For Track and Street use get the HypermaxII they have a bigger range of adjustmnet and therefore more flexible and accomodating for street but why not get the HKS RS version that was made secifically for the US

For Strictly Street Use then get the Hypermax II but why not get the HKS LS+ version which is even more streetable then the II or RS?

Either way both are great Coilovers it all depends on where you will mainly use them

Thanks for the reply! Are you saying that the FLTA2 is not streetable? Is the HKS RS version streetable? Also, it is my understanding that for lowering (I have a '05 G35 6MT Coupe on order) about 1 inch, I will need camber adjustable front UCAs (upper control arms) and rear LCAs. Is that correct?

The JIC's can be used on the street for sure all I am saying is the ride quality will not be as good as the HKS setups. JICs are quite firm and stiff.
Depending on the amount of drop yes its possible that you will need some help bringing the camber back into spec.
