Coil over choices
Matt - Yea i forgot about kumho... they actually produce decent r compounds for cheap and those are no exception... i might throw a pair of those on my biatch for track days.. lots of people dont like kumho because of whatever reason.. but you can't go wrong with them...

I'm gonna keep using the stock wheels and tires for the winter months, but i'm gonna get 17's and new tires for those. The 17" tires are the ones i'm wondering about. The parada's look good, so i'm kinda leaning that way. I saw some nice advan wheels yesterday on the web. Advan's are pretty good quality right? There probably pricey like the volk's though hey? anyways back to the suspension question, does anyone have the JIC FLT A2 coil overs for a S13 f/b? I wanna know how much they drop and how much better the suspension feels.ThanksChris
They're coilovers, you can lower your car to your liking. Parada is a good tire, see the tire review in the FAQ for more details.
ADVAN wheels are very nice, quality wheels, on par with VOLK, and some say even better, but they cost a butt-load unless you got some kind of hook-up or find a "salvage" pair off a imported 1/2 cut or something.-chet

You are mistaken. the parada Spec-2 isnt noisey, and is a grippy tire, ask jerome or anyone thats had them on their car. I've personally never had a set but if the reviews I recieve are right, its a damn good tire if you can get it in your size, especially considering the cost.
"too slick to be good"? yo mean the treadblocks are too big, too swept? have you had those tires?
I've driven on them in a S13, a civic(yeah, I know...) and a prelude, every time I didnt notice noise, but it was a sticky tire, and I've gotten good reviews of it from the customers. also, not to pick fights but:"lots of people dont like kumho because of whatever reason.. but you can't go wrong with them..."
yes you can. The R compounds are not too bad, but their street tires are crap. The mold quality, compounds used, and quality controll is bunk, I see more vibration and out-of-round problems from kumhos people bring in than any other tire. -chet

I have to disagree with that. Advans are not forged. Give me the Volks!

Is anyone gonna answer this? I know that the JIC's are really good but I've been looking for info on the Apexi's and haven't really found anything. Please Help!
