I have been running mine for almost 30K miles...4 or 5 track events...and still in good shape. not too stiff on the road. Overall impression, its a very sporty ride at the softer settings..very reliable on the track.
also, have you tried the search button?

JIC FLT-A2 > Tein Flex... In my opinion atleast Tein Flex's are great coilvers. Strictly a street coilover though. Although we ran them during the first Time Attack in the US in our STi, it held us back... We still placed second

It all depends what you want. Great thing about the Tein's, you can run the EDFC unit which allows you to adjust the dampening inside your car with a touch a button. JIC does not offer such an item.

So to sum it all up, if you want comfortable coilovers that could handle light track days and some Auto-X, then the Tein's will work great. If your wanting a more aggressive unit that is more on the performance side, JIC is your answer.

Although I have only tracked the car a few times on the JIC's, and on the Z have only had the JIC's I can say that they seem to have good conering response; they are easily adjusted for track conditions; I have not had any problems street or track with them.
On the street it is not much stiffer than stock at the #2 setting, on the #5 setting in the front the front end is very hard, and not easily driven on the street...to stiff for the LA County potholes
I am going to try and make Willow Springs on the 11/11 and try them once again.

I just got mine installed today, and all i can say is that people exaggerate the harshness of this set up way too much. I've heard people say that even on the softest setting, it is too stiff. But just for fun, i set both front and rear to full stiff, and its not too bad on OC highways.

These are very easy to adjust, and on full soft settings, they feel just like stock to me.

I think it just depends on personal preference. Some people understand that aftermarket suspensions are just "firm" - some don't. If you're more concerned about dropping the car and having a nice tuck with a better than stock, but not too extreme setup - then I'd say it's not worth it. But if you want one of the best suspensions out there, this one's a definite pleaser for the tracks.

i agree with what everone is saying. the jic's are a great middle of the way susp. If you plan on tracking a hell of a lot then you might want to go with something like cusco... i perfer the cusco just cause they are pretty much bomb proof. Im not a big fan of tein they just seem ricer to me.... so in my opinion i would say....

cusco>jic>tein

btw with the cusco you can get the z1 set-up for liek 1200 bones. its hard to get a better susp for that price.
