I got pretty lucky the other day and picked these up for my FC. I was able to get them used (barely) and for a price I could never find in the US. Spring rates are F 7kilo and R 3kilo, they are 26 way adjust able, so dialing them in should not be a problem. I will post the results of use on the tack when I get the car complete next summer. I can't wait to try them out

look at the beefiness of the front shafts, I don't think I will have to worry if the front end comes up, these are not going to break anytime soon, around an inch in diameter

I bought a set of new JIC FLT-A2's over at Sanjyo's last year for the same reason. I got this stuff brand new for several hundreds of dollars less than any place over here that were selling them at the same time.



Am I mistaken, but are those progressive rate springs up front? They sure look as though they are.

yes they are progressive rate springs, This set is somewhere in the $1600-$1800 price range new, these have 5000 kms on them, and anybody that knows me knows I am pretty stingy when it comes to buying expensive stuff, but I will splurge from time to time. These were just way to good of a deal to pass up

good luck Vosko, I do not even think they are available to the US market yet. I am currently fighting the two guys at the shop right now with FC's for them...I own them, but they all are crying because I did not give them the chance to buy them first
