Who makes coilovers for the TC?

I'm new to the forum so I have alot of questions. I was wondering how many companies are making coilovers for the TCs and how many of the TC owners actually purchasing them. Also what is the price range for these coilover sets? Thanks

FLTA2's are the top of the line JIC's. They are overkill in anything but a dedicated racecar.

Edit: from JIC's site:

Quote:

Our flagship coilover setup. The FLT-A2 features a light weight, 15 way adjustable monotube damper that ensures high strength and fade free performance. The ride height is adjustable separate from the spring perch giving you maximum suspension travel at any setting. This also allows for proper corner weighting of the vehicle without effecting spring preload settings.

D2...I could swear I have seen you somewhere :D

JIC's are cool but they are not as reliable as Teins. I have JIC's on my Lexus and they are amazing; I don't expect them to last long though. They are about the same price as all the competition out there. $1300 range.

I see JIC on sale all over the place for $1300. Even Autobacs had it for that price. Maybe for TC it is going to be retail since it is a new product but eventually it will cost the same as all of them.

If you see the FLT-A2's for sale in the neighborhood of 1300 its for the xa and xb which has a torsion beam rear end. It would make sense the price is about 3/4's what you would pay for a full system.

Expect the FLT-A2's to run in the neighborhood of $1800+ for the tC.

The reason I am asking these questions is I am in the process of producing coilovers for the TC. They will be less expensive than the brands you've mentioned and the build quality will be matched.
