Default Just bought JIC FLT-A2H Coilovers, any feedback? Which rear springs to run?

I've read alot of reviews on how this is going to ride, apparently i am semi used to riding in harsh suspensions. I rode on my old Honda Prelude(Tein HA's) 800lbs front/500rear, 93' hatchback(Omni-Power Coilovers) 500lbs rear/300 rear.

This is going on a G35.

With that said, how bad is this going to be compared to these two cars with that suspension? I remember it was semi bumpy and sometimes bouncy, but do-able. I love in VA so the roads here are nice, nothing like NY/NJ!!! Worst ROADS EVER!!


With that said, i just bought this suspension and the guy i bought them from stated that these are the JIC FLT-TAR series Coilovers. Did they have a rename or something?

But he bought them for his 350z and gave me 2 sets of rear springs. The only problem is he doesnt remember which was which! Which is the 10k rear and which is the 12k rear?

Any Help would be appreciated!

Front Suspension




Rear Suspension



Which springs is which??

get a good dental plan

as for the springs, no way to tell by looking. Whichever is harder for you to compress is the stiffer spring though

Springs on right in that pic look thicker. Thicker = 12k.

Hmmm... that makes sense. I'd imagine the thicker, the more weight or the stiffer one.

Couldn't you just place a weight on the spring (i.e. a plate from a weigh set, or even have someone stand on it) and measure the amount of travel? The one with less travel would be the heavier spring. Just a thought.
