Default JIC FLTA-2 and 350EVO Sway Bars review

I installed both the JIC FLTA-2 Coilovers and the 350EVO Sway Bars at the same time so I cant really write two seperate reviews. Anyways, here is my reveiw...

The installation of both of these products was really easy. I did it by myself in about 5 hours taking my time. Just make sure that you have a big breaker bar for some of the bolts. This setup is WAY stiffer than stock. I have both the sway bars set at medium and the shocks set at medium as well. At first I thought that it was too stiff and the car broke loose to easily. Then I got used to it and I noticed a huge improvement in handling. I took it on a spirited mountain run last weekend and was really impressed with the way my car handled. The JICs are a lot stiffer than stock so everyday driving means that you will feel all of the bumps in the road. I personally don't mind it, but I like cars that feel more like a race car than a luxury cruiser. I am really impressed with my setup and I would recomend it to anybody. I can't wait to take it to the track next month!!!!

I dont have the sway bars but I have the JIC's. Got a Q for you. When you run your shocks at 7 clicks or stiffer, does your front end feel loose? When my front shocks are at 7 or 8 and I turn the wheel side to side at 60mph or higher the car sways worse. Mine feels horrible, I never run my front shock above 5. I usually run them on 2 or 3 for driving.

I have not tried any other settings besides what I have it at now, which I think is 5. I think that the sway bars would help that though anyways. Actually, from what I have heard someone took the JICs to a shock dyno and didn't find much difference at all from softest to stiffest, but who knows. I think that was on an S2000 also. I plan on playing with the adjustments pretty soon so if I have the same problems, I will post it here.
