Default opinions on JIC magic Ar and ksport coilovers from owners

just wanted to hear what owners of JIC magic AR and Ksport coilovers had to say about the performance of these two. Trying to decide on a set now that I can't get Hks hipermaxs cause they are discontinued. Also feel free to suggest any other monotube coilovers kits with dampening

No one on this site has JIC..but JIC are the best coils around...better than tein in my opinion.

I do not own either of these, but I have installed the two. The overall fit and finish of the JIC's are amazing. However, that quality comes with a high price tag.

If you are serious about racing and if your car will spend most of its life on the track I would suggest the JIC's. They are rebuild able so when components wear out you can easily rebuild them.

If you are more of a show guy with the occasional weekend track event the Ksports will be more up your alley. The Ksport are a perfect blend of quality and affordability.

I hope this helps you decide

JIC > Ksport for every application, show, race, whatever, its all with the name with show cars and its all with the performance with the racing, you can't go wrong with JIC, you can however go wrong with Ksport

so if money didn't matter would you get the jic magic ar's or tein ssp's with EDFC since it seems like the Ksports are out.

the only real use of an EDFC is automatic adjustment without having to pop the hood and mess with the little dials. its just something extra to go wrong (not saying it will soon but who knwos)

but JICs are one of the best along with Zeal F&F and HKS

a girl actually does have them on here (purpled_out_tC) but she hasn't really posted about them yet (I believe she is wanting to get her ride height and everything else setup correctly before posting pictures and all that.

Yes, JIC > HKS > Progress > Tein > Ksport

I believe that is the order of the coilovers available for the tC right now (of course everyone has their own opinion)
