I plan on doing alot of roadcourse and drag racing, but also alot of daily driving. This is a strange question but, Since they do make a little softer spring for the A2 would it be okay to change to softer spring when daily driving, Or would just defeat the purpose of the A2. I have heard that some people say the A2's are okay for street,and some do not like it. My brother has a 95 200sx ser with AGX's and Eibachs. One the hardest settings it rides pretty rough but to to bad tho. Wondering how comparable the A2's would be to that type of set-up. Sorry for the questions but am having a hard time deciding which coilover's to get. :help

Thanks for your time :ylsuper Marcus

I used the JIC coilovers on my project that is featured in Import Tuner. They gave excellent results on the track and skidpad. They are a little firm on the street but I drive my car every day with no complaints.Opting for a set of softer springs for street driving may be an answer- they are a piece of cake to swap out.

Thanks for the replie...Since you said that you drive on them everyday how rough of a ride are we talking about? When you get out of the car does you whole body hurt because of all the small and big bumps that you went over. I really want the A2's but this will proberly be a daily driver / couple times a month track car. I am also considering the Tein HA's or HE if I can find them. Some other people say that the A2's are rough, because of the valving in the shock and not the springs themself. Anyway thanks again for the imput..:ylsuper

Well, I'm an old fart and I don't have too much trouble with them. They are firm but I make a point of avoiding nasty bumps and potholes. If you are looking for comfort as well as handling I would consider selecting softer spring rates (-1k at each end). I don't have any problem but you may feel differently. Same as most things-different strokes for different folks....
