The non dual-height adjustable kind - i.e. the lower end ones.

that's about as good as I can do.

dude... those are old school.. before pre-load came into play. I mean, every modern coilover today has pre-load.. hell even cheaper companies like k-sport and megan have pre-load.

that's about all I know as well... they are old school.

My cousin bought a used set of JICs that look like those (all I remember was the gold) a long time ago for like $400.. I don't know the model though, and if you're wondering because you want to buy... I definitely wouldn't recommend it.


Snoop with a 510?

Dood... FAIL...

Those have preload - Look @ the 2 collars below each spring - preload is set by tightening the spring / lowering the car.

"New School" is dual height adjustable - allowing you to lower/raise the car w/o adjusting preload... mod... fail... boo...

Well, cut Adrian some slack, he was a wheel mod first, not a suspension mod.
