as far as i know, the JIC is THE setup.
Has anyone ever tried the JIC Magic FLT A2 coilovers on their roadster?
Has anyone ever tried the JIC Magic FLT A2 coilovers on their roadster? I am thinking of purchasing a set. Any feedback, info or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

^u don't go wrong w/ JIC setup!
they are "MAGIC"!!
they are "MAGIC"!!
i heard they had quality control problems before like the shocks would be blown fairly quick. don't know about now
They are FANTASTIC on the track but a little rough on the street depending on the tolerance of your back and stomach. They were my first choice of coilovers along with the Ohlins.
yeah, i'd take them over my Stance, but i've heard they are hard to get repaired since a lack of local support.
Yeah, haven't heard that either. But if they blow, oh man, its going to be hard to find someone to rebuild it. :|i heard they had quality control problems before like the shocks would be blown fairly quick. don't know about now
Yes, I intend to make this a daily driver. So stress on the back and stomache is not going to do. I need something that is comfortable and still have some solid dampening/handling.They are FANTASTIC on the track but a little rough on the street depending on the tolerance of your back and stomach.

Any suggestions?
I've never heard of Stance. What is Stance? Who makes it? Why did you go with this product? Thanks.yeah, i'd take them over my Stance, but i've heard they are hard to get repaired since a lack of local support.

Dicker has them on his car, he's in Chino or somewhere over the hills.
You can ride in Tein Flex 6/7kg on my NB. They go from soft as clouds to back-cracking-stomach dropping. Gimme a PM or IM since we're local.

I'd stay away from it personally, until they get the rebound dampening figured out. Which begs the question of why they didn't get it figured first.
BTW, I will no longer be posting over there. Apparently, I don't have enough posts to make an arguement,lol.
I saw a JIC-equipped miata at a local autocross last weekend and it looked GOOD. VTECMX5 was the lucky dog that got a ride in it and he grinning ear-to-ear when they came back.
Keep in mind the JICs are a track/race ready set-up. No compromises. As far as rebuilding them. I'm sure Brian Goodwin can help you out when the time comes. --->>.http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda/miata/21-1065b.html
I'll continue to preach the Tein Flexes for daily/mountain/occasional track/ use. VERY livable. Even the Koni Yellows (race and sport) are more then enough for street use
I will be getting these in the next couple months and if you are still interested you are more than welcome to try them.
FM seems to love them. Did you read the Car and driver Superfour challenge from last year? The writer of the article was super impressed with the handling and the comfort level.
Any links to this Superfour challenge?
Thumbs up to you man, I was watching the thread since the beginning and wanted to say something about how he was brushing off the bounce as effects from the tire but i'm not that good of an debater, you sir are a master debater :lol:http://www.roadsterdrift.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1805 <<--keep reading it to the end.I've never heard of Stance.

The only reason i'm still on HT is basically to chat with my friends from the meets, I really should just stop posting on HT though, it just causes me grief :lol:
As far as rebuilds go, i know that Road/Race Engineering (mulerized) does a lot of work with JIC's and if they do not rebuild them, they must have close relations with JIC because i know they can get custom valved ones. This could be a possibility if JIC tech support and service is as bad as it is rumored to be.
With Koni's North American HQ literally 15min from me, that's why I'm inclined to go that route.Yeah, haven't heard that either. But if they blow, oh man, its going to be hard to find someone to rebuild it. :|i heard they had quality control problems before like the shocks would be blown fairly quick. don't know about now
