Is anyone familiar with their suspension components.... primarily the strut braces and coilovers.

The FLT-A2 is an awesome coilover. It's one of the best street/race coilovers on the market.:)

Get some Tein HAs w/ PBUs... save yourself 400 bucks and have suspension thats just as good, I think Tein is better but oh well.

A Tein HA can't touch a Jic FLT-A2...now an RA, on the other hand, is a different story. The two are very close in specs and only the driver can decide which is better. I am also partial to Tein though, so the choice for me wouldn't be too tough.

Yea, my buddy has Tein RA's w/ PBMs on his 6G Hatch, thing handles good. I think I might try out JIC to see how it is... ya know, both are comparable spec-wise but I wanna try somethin new.

Nismo_Freak... I'll probably get em around March, gotta get some safety parts for the fastback first.

Dori I honestly think the RAs are way to stiff for a daily car. I've driven a Z32 w/ RAs and it handled very well however it was extremely hard (they where set on the softest setting). The car went sideways to easily and was overall just too stiff for the tires and pavement. Tires where Falken Azenis Sports in 245/40/17 (I think they are 40 series)

Forgot to add... if it was a weekend auto-x car I would suggest RAs and getting some Victoracers or other R-Compound tire.

I'll be using the following:Tein HA w/UPMZEAL b-6Apex-i N-1

one of those. I want to be able to adjust it completely to suit auto-x, road race, street and circut use...
