Default Does the xA Have Different Suspension than the xB?

Believe it, or not- I just got off the phone with JIC Magic USA, and the main guy is at a race in Georgia.

The guy I talked to asked me if I could use the kit for the xB because they have no xA kits in the US right now.

I don't know much about the differences in the suspension and weight of the two cars.

My guess is I'll have to find the kit for the xA at a retailer, or wait 30-60 days to get it from Japan.

The guy from JIC Magic is supposed to call me back tonight after he talks to the technician, or whom ever it is.

both are about the same. There are a few little things that make the two different but for the most part everything is the same

Depending on what you want to get from JIC it could be a minor difference, to no difference at all. If what you are wanting includes springs of any sort, there will probably be a difference. Anything designed for the xB as opposed to the xA will probably have a higher spring rate. This could lead to a rougher ride for the xA.

Your best bet (if you are ordering some sort of spring or coil over) is to ask them what the spec is on the coils from one kit to the other. If they use the same spring rate, go ahead and get the xB kit.
