JIC-Magic Coilover Kit?
Does anyone know anything about JIC-Magic coilover kits? A nearby shop is doing a group buy for JIC-Magic coilover suspension kits and they are really giving me a good deal. But before I buy the kit, I wanted to get some opinions about JIC-Magic.

I have already replaced the bushing once. The second bushing again tore. I have now contacted Ground-Control and the are going to replace the old bushings with a new plasitc one. Next, the ride quality is horrible. I experience so much bounce that I seriously do not want to drive my car on Ground-Control anymore. That is why I am looking into buying a "Real" coilover suspension kit (JIC-Magic). So with that, I do not recommend that you purchase a set of Ground-Controls.

Rep Power: 0 So what's the price you can get on the JIC? They're a pretty strong suspension company in Japan. Very popular actually and have some pretty tight stuff on the site. If you could get them for under 1100, I'd say go for it. I bought the last set today from 2cute. I live in Cali, so it was 1000 plus tax and s/h which came to about 1147. Damn, didn't expect the tax, but it's still cheap for one of the best ride coils on the market for the 7th gen. Heard they ride like stock. If you don't have enough funds for a full setup right now, I'd recommend you waiting till the end of summer and get the Teins. I would have, but the B&G price was too good to pass up.

Rep Power: 0 Duyaknow-The shop said they would charge me around 1200(shipping and tax) for the JIC kit. But like I said a few days ago, before I actually buy kit, I need to learn more about JIC. I just dont want to risk buying the kit and then not have it work well on my car. After all, I will be spending quite a bit of money. So if there are any experts out there on JIC suspension or know of a website, please feel free to voice your opinion. Thanx
