Default JIC FLT-A2 or Cusco Zero 2

i have did some search on this 2 coilovers, but still got some questions about it.
is the JIC damper adjustable?i know Cusco is.
most ppl are saying that JIC is more of a track setup since the spring rate on the rear is higher.
but i also thinks the valving has to be matched to have a better road feeling and better connering.JIC doesnt seems like to have the valving matched as well as Cusco.(by hearing ppl say that the ride is harsh/bumpy?)
any input on this 2?
and my setup will be most likely for track/circute use.
so ride comfort is not a concern for me.
thanks

also, i am not really sure the specs for both cusco and jic.
i know the spring rates etc, but how about levles of height adjustment and ways to adjust both cusco and jic?
and i think both cusco and jic is a monotube design?(nos so sure)
and the material of this 2?
any comment will be really welcome!

Hi GYZ

The cusco zero2's are not monotube design, but twintube. Jic in the other hand is monotubed....i believe they are both bodies are made of steel.
Cusco 5 way adjustable
JIC 15 ways

I went with the Cusco becuz you can only go to track few times a year...and im not really ready to sacrifice my ride comfort. Maybe I will change to more aggressive suspension down the road...maybe like the Zeal or Quantum.
