Default truecoilovers need a bit of info

hey guys,

just bought some JIC FLT-TAR and since its a true coilover do i need to change my rear camber kits? like get a battleversion rear arms so i can remove the spring bucket? or is it ok to run the spring bucket for a while? will it hurt performance of the coils?

i have SPC rear camber kits installed right now

also what rear camber arms do you guys recommend for true coilovers?

anyone using these coils? how you like em?

I would get the Battle Version camber and toe arms. They don't use soft bushings. They use sperical rod bearings giving you less deflection under load. The toe arms make setting the toe very easy and precise.

The toe arms replace the spring bucket and the camber arms go in the normal location.

Here is mine:

I highly recommend that you open the box and prove to yourself the kit doesn't use the oem rear spring location before you spend a dime on parts that kill the lower control arm. How they were sold to you or what someone told you means nada. To date, I have never seen or heard of a Jic Z33 coilover that doesn't use the oem rear spring location. That being said, if I am wrong and Jic has something new we've never heard about before, it's all good. And just to say it, spying 4 65mm ID springs in the box won't do either, IIRC the rear springs are also 65mm ID in the oem location.
