Never heard of the JC project but apparently they are pretty popular in Australia, so i think they are worth a try.

A couple guys here also talk about the coils for their Skylines.http://www.skylinesaustralia.c....html

They seem pretty reputable to me, if you can get them then jump on, whats the worst that could happen?

Well the fact that theres a D1 driver sporting them, and his car didnt randomly break, tells you they at the very least have a decent build quality.



I think they are definitely a brand to look out for, if they ever start getting sold in the US.Itll be another company for the fanboiz to JDMJizz over

Geography fail.

Sund is in Hordaland. Hordaland is in Norway.So ur whole post is moot in regards to the OP.

But a nice point nonetheless.

Thanks Nali I didnt even bother to look over at where the OP was from.....Being that you are from the nicer side of the world I would like to retract my statement and simply say that I think that in light of knowing where you are located that you should buy a R32/R33 Skyline hahaha.....Good luck on finding info

You shure did your homework

And in norway, you have to do everything yourselfe, cause prices are so high, buying new stuff often pays of compared to fixing the old. In examples of prices, a 240SX SR20DET S14 cost 25$ in mint condition, Skylines are Illegal, and Infinity is hardly heard of since all above 1.8 liters and 100BHP is practicly illigal cause the prices are so high...

Oh, and dont be fooled, this does not reflect the general prices and income, this Is simply super special taxes created by a practicly communist gouvernment from the 70s-present, who simply hate automobiles.

So no matter what I buy, Ill need to buy a new one if it breaks, or fix it my selfe.

Back to topic,

K-sport leaks after an average 10K miles in my experience.. Im thinking of just giving F and buy Tein, since thats top of the line, works everytime, but Its just so F*** expensive. 1400$ +~200 freight + 25% VAT = almost 2K!!So 800+200 *25% is ~1250, so if them JC`s work Im in business.. Im also thinking Megans, are they any good? Same price as JC...

This country is only great if you hate cars, gasoline, oil and love a crappy public transportation system.

haha lol.

But seriously i say give those JCs a try.

As i said before they sponsor a D1 team so you know they atleast do some R&D. How many of these budget companies can say they even sponsor one D1 car?Plus the company originates from Japan, it isnt some fake company posing as a Japanese brand

JC also has a 1 year guarantee

Here are some vids of their Drift car being beaten up and not breaking.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...edded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3_Ix8YVdtY

And their 800HP supra on the Dynohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=879kB8jf3SQ

The company seems pretty big in JPN. SO i would trust them
