Sweet - sweet - sweet. You mentioned performance but forgot ride quality. But when you do give us some info on ride quality, tell us how it rides/handles on various settings.

And I'm extremely glad that Ziel made it work on the coupes/sedans without modifications.

Car looks good, too. No doubt they can go lower than Teins.

JIC-Magic.

Ride quality is outstanding at the current setting, about halfway between the hardest and softest settings. I took a pretty sharp turn at 50 yesterday and it felt like the tires were going to move the road before the body rolled. Coming out of turns is even better. Since the JIC's rebound so well I am able to get in and out of turns VERY quickly. I highly recommend these for autocross. I am very impressed with how they rebound after hitting bumps. I have less than a finger of wheel gap and when I hit big dips in the road, the JIC's rebound so fast that my tires don't rub. To me that right there is amazing. I am taking pics today with the wheel off if anyone is interested.

Thank you for the comments everyone!

Damn, if that's how you describe it on the middle setting, I wonder how it is on the stiffest?

It was said that the best autocrossers use JIC-Magic coilovers... so... you're all set.

Do you have any other suspension mods? Strut bars, anti sway bars, etc.? After I get these, I wonder if I'll even need a 22mm rear bar. Probably might need something thicker.

I am very excited about putting them on the stiffest setting to see how they perform. I want to go all JIC for suspension but I don't have any other suspension mods as of yet. That carbon fiber strut bar looks yummy! lol

I believe not. He said it was a direct bolt with no modifications quite a few times.

Thank the car gods for JIC-Magic looking out for the coupe and sedans when they made this.
