yeah, but the $$ of the penske will render you useless after the PROPER ROGERING you will get from the bill....



i am looking into these 2 (tein/jic) suspensions right now. i have alotted my power fc $ for the coilovers right now because the shitty tokico illumina's are taking a dump....all the way around.....



so, i guess that the general consensus of this issue is that they are both good choices? right? i think that i can get a better $ on the tein's, but i am very interested in the jic flt-a2's...any more info would be greatly appreciated.....

and the money that you will waste once you realize that what you bought wasnt enough for what you needed..



ive been through it! third suspension set, going on fourth, and I'm wishing hard that I had bought either the JRZ or Penske to begin with. Rebuilds are cheap, but having shock failure sucks when you're in the middle of a race and your car no longer responds like its supposed to, and you end up over the chicane, and into the dirt, and your car is *really* f'd up because it couldn't stay on the road..



All I'm saying is.. if you are really going to road race, buy the suspension that you will only have to change once.. no need to buy single adjustables and then having to deal with not being able to adjust what you want once you realize you need to.

since so many coilover systems are getting named... i would like to know how the other japanese coilovers rate?

-HKS hyper damper II (it has frigging 30 settings) which are 10x the amount i need. alli need is normal driving, spirated dirivng, autox/track day settings

the only real reason i see to get the upper mounts is if your stock ones are bad.

i got the ha's had em for like 4 months, only drove the car like for a month. then i switched to the re's.

they just left me wanting more. i would love to compare my re's to jic's but alas i dont

know of anybody in my area who has them.
