Which one would you choose, Tein or JCI? and why?

 

number one reason i didnt get JIC's...theyre made in taiwan

 

If you plan on tracking your car, go with the JICs. If the car is predominantly a street car, then go with the Teins. From what I've read, the Teins use a dual piston design, while the JIC use an inverted monotube design. Also, the JICs have a larger piston (45mm v. 40mm). Mine should arrive today, and I'll try to get them installed before Watkins Glen for a thorough thrashing / testing.

 

That's weak. You know this for a fact?

 

And your point is?

 

that pretty much says it all about how he feels so no need to be insecure about your purchase. Everyone has different taste and some people may not like the fact that they're made in taiwan, that's all. I was considering the jic's as well, but I'm not so sure anymore. To each their own.

 

Hedonist is correct the JIC is a mono tube set up while the Teins are dual. Since very tiny air bubbles tend to build up in the dual piston design they become slightly less sensitive. The JIC monotube set up does not build up these air bubbles and remains slighly more sensitive. The JIC is a great setup and I have not heard any complaints from my buddy who is running the JIC's.

I went for the Tein setup because of the EDFC. Having the ability to adjust dampening on the fly is key. So much easier than having to stop the car, get out, pop the hood and trunk and make adjustments.
