JIC Magic vs. TEIN <//:VOTE:\\>

[JerseyDrift]

i have saved up the money for new coilovers, but i am stuck between the JIC Magic FLT-A2's and the TEIN Super Drift's. im leaning toward the JIC's but haven't really talked to anyone about them

vote on which you would choose and why.

Stand out and buy Tanabe Sustec Pro Seven's !!

[CMG]

JIC

[got chub]

there is a thread on here some where that is talking about JIC being the company that makes NISMO suspension parts for Nissan, so i guess if that is true then JIC would be a quality part seeing how Nissan trust their products as well

[RyanAwesome]

check out the thread i just posted. zerothread/298986

[Didderson]

I have no room to talk because I don't own any tein or JIC products BUT after seeing what JIC did to that older porsche and set it up to be a really nice drift car I'd want them engineering my suspension. Nuff said.

[Romanuts]

I have been rockin Tein Superdrift's for about 8 months and havnt had any problems. quality is top notch! everything is grade A and works great. if you get them make sure to get the EDFC, helps out big time!.p.s. not saying JIC isnt good, i havnt had the chance to use them yet.

WORD !! They sit in my room waiting for spring.

ive driven in cars that utilized JIC magic and TEIN.

honestly. JIC coilovers are the streetable coilovers. great all around. TEIN is more of the performer, however, if you drive on shi*ty roads like me, you'll hate it.

[seuksavanh_v]

i used to ride with Tein in the back and Cusco in front settings, I really like the Tein feeling. +1

I got tein flex and they feel like **** on ****ty roads...and they're only 6k/5k, just imagine what 8k/6k would feel like ...i use to got them megan streets 8k/6k and didn't like them on the street either....if i could start from scratch i would just do some sick spring shock combo...

[gunmetalrps]

no offense to JIC and tein users but

DEF on the tanabes. just put them on two days ago.plus. its what alex pfeiffer said to use. =)

yeah but have u ever experienced the other 2 at all?

[JerseyDrift]

thanks everyone i appreciate the input

[tercel drifter]

i had jic, the seals in teh back blew, and the front ones are seized

[White Comet]

^ one of the few negative things ive heard about them

[sycle]

I have heard good about both of them, but personally I would go for the JIC coilovers

[Camry]

I'd go with JIC based on word of mouth. No experience with JIC or TEIN.

Really? never knew JIC make nismo suspension parts.

Yep - we had SOME KIND of research on the NISMO suspension back when I was checking them out. ..

[White Comet]

yeah i heard awhile ago that JIC makes suspension for nismo. the 2 choices are both good, i wouldnt mind having the super drifts

[98koukile]

I got some JIC street coils for cheap... if I don't like them, they'll be turning into an air setup project real quick

[jdm_master_X]

dont get me wrong both coilovers are great. the reason i got the Super Drifts was simply because it was already valved specifically for the track. JIC shocks are softer.

i underestimated the Super Drifts on the street though. no matter how many times ive adjusted them, it just wreaks hell on my ride. never get these coilovers if you drive on crappy road or have a crappy frame (i unfortunately have both )

[nismofly]

jic doesnt make nismo

and id agree with people saying to get the tanabes...or get something else besides what you listed

jic usa is a pita

[White Comet]

^ hmm thanks for clearing that up, i heard a few places that = nismo

[nismofly]

s tunes are a matched shock/spring combo, with kyb dampers with iirc eibach springs and im 90% sure that they make the r tune coilovers are made by the same companies
