Well, if you're just getting the off-the-shelf product, you shouldn't have a problem. I've heard great things about Avalon Racing and Z1 who carry JIC products and know them well (if not better than the place that imports JIC products, Zeal).

We have logged over 500 miles with the 350Z on a road course at full speed and have had zero problems - we also have about 30+ customers on them and only had to replace one rear for valving issues.

Proper install and set up is critical as well as final suspension tuning. all coilovers need to be tighrend down every 1000 miles or so and always should be checked.

Regards

I think that is one of the problems ....they don't come with those kind of instructions. Can you point us to an on line source for this info ..... or make up some instructions for us ?

Thanks

I will run a special deal for this forum on the FLT-A2 JIC's. We will need 4 confirmed kits. This will save hundreds

Go with the Tein Flex with EDFC and get someone who knows what he's doing to put it in. I had one guy put the shocks in and another redo it with the EDFC. Nows all is good with the world and no funny noises and incar "on the fly" dampening. Just loving it.

We have never turned down a customer or buyer of product. We actually provide a ton of support from non customers. We are JIC's largest distributor and race on their product we have a ton of knowledge on the product and more importantly tuning suspensions.

We have found the JIC;s to be the best out there over all the others for the street/track car.

I am concidering another special for this forum for the FLT-A2's. We need 6 buyers and we will have incredible prices.

Regards

I can confirm what he just said above. I have spent alot of time trying to talk some sense into Jic on how they did the spring rates for the G35 sedan coilovers (stick with the coupe version for use on a sedan!!!) One of the things that Jic told was that Avalon Racing was their number one reseller for their product. Quote, "They move a ton of our product for us".
