JIC makes top of the line stuff. Never been in 240 with JIC coilovers, so i cant speak from experience. However, if you can get a good deal on them, definitely go for it, im sure you will be pleased.

i heard JIC coilovers are pretty rough on the street but they rock for autoX and stuff like that.

Good coilover, great price. Aluminum, pillowballs (camber adjustable in the front), many spring rates, dampening and height adjustable...can't get much better than this for the street.:)

I will most likely be running these.

Oh, and it will be too rough for most people on the streets.

I got a set on my Cefiro and I love them, but they are a harsh ride, I have 10 kilo front and 8 kilo rear, they dont give up without a fight but I plan to change the front to 12 or 14 kilo and put the 10 kilo springs on the rear.Good for the Drift

More curious. I was going to go with Tein RA's, but at that price, I'd go with the Jics. Let me know what the deal is.:)

I need a new suspension too....do I hear a group buy developing?

The main reason why JICs will be my next setup is because each part in the coilover can be purchased seperately. Tein and Apexi do not offer this yet (actually they don't, rebuilding is a seperate issue). After the struts blowing on my Apexi WS's buying parts seperatly is a huge plus.

Never drove in a 240 with JIC coilovers but drove in my boys RX7 and that thing is sweet. I mean the handling on the car is crazy nice on it. It is a little rough but if you want a race performance suspension then it is going to be a little rough ride.
