Do you notice any toe-in problems with the front tires? Also, if you installed a camber kit, did it help any?

I'm thinking about purchasing these coilovers for my car because I autocross, but I don't want to waste my money on them if they just cause more suspension problems...

So what is the price of them? Which would be better ... the NEX coilovers, or GC coilovers with Konis?

I am looking mostly for ride comfort, none of that stock bumpiness crap, then 2nd priority is to be able to autoX with them.

Are you sure JIC coil overs aren't height adjustable or are you talking about how the height can only be adjusted, so that they affect the shock travel? The website is www.jic-magic.com. It says they are adjustable on their site and isn't that the true purpose of full coil over systems? So have you got your car aligned after installation? Wanted to know about the toe alignment too. 2cute said she had problems with the toe alignment which ruins your tires just as bad as negative camber. I would rather buy JICs too. They don't cost too much, prolly between 1100 to 1200. Japanese product, my guess similar to Tein. They even got a review in a magazine, just don't remember which one. It was talked about in the new products in America article and the comparison of the popular full coil over systems. Well, hope you can help me out before the group buy ends.
