Default Feeler :JIC FLT-A2 Coilovers

Guys not trying to break the FS rules so Im only posting this feeler local and not in classifieds. I am interested in selling my used (approx 20K miles) JIC FLT-A2's. They handle well, and ride stiff. Why you ask? Well I want to redo my suspension for drag racing, more daily driving comfort, and (gasp) I actually want to raise my car some as I have a nice and $$$ CF lip coming in. The JIC's are too stiff for weight transfer on the launch, and I want a less harsh ride as I honestly dont road race the car and dont take full advantage of these coilovers to drive on them all the time. Anyways enough rambling on, make me an offer, I dont know what would be considered "fair" for something like this, FWIW I paid $1850 new...

I got a nice set of low mileage stock shocks in the garage if you need them.

Thanks for the offers guys. I will likely end up with a Hotchkis spring/sway package, I havent decided om shocks. Friends dont let friends drive @ stock ride height!

I'm not riding on "stock" height, I'm actually 2 inches higher ... Come to think of it, I actually might be stock. My tires are low profile (35 mm) which might make up for the 2 inch increase in wheel size

the hotchkis is a good choice...rides well, drop is enough but not to severe to the point of smashing my lip all over the place

tokico shocks paired with the hotchkis sway and spring kit may be the ticket. I've got the hotchkis sways and they're excellent for cornering... Don't know about the springs though.

I would have taken you up on this a month ago, but already have some new stuff ordered... Timing always sucks...
Good luck Berto.
(I say sell then to Juan, he is willing to pay $150 more then you paid initially for them... Why Juan ???? Or are you saying they are $2,000 new?)
