oh no, I don't own the LS, it belongs to my buddy Kennedy of Platinum VIP. He also own a 1GS VIP style.

yea, Kennedy actually went to JIC and did R&D for them on the coilover for his LS. They came up with this full adjustable system. Ride quality is superb, you can compare to the ride quality of the Tein CS. There are also 15-way adjustable settings

I actually get to drive the car for couple of hours on the way to Vegas from LA, I was surprised on how smooth the ride is. And, Yes he rolls in 22" w/-7 camber in the rear.

JIC does not have their own coilovers yet for the car. kennedy is the only one that custom makes them with the jic parts. cost the last time i called him was 3k installed. i believe though that JIC might be starting to do production on them though this year.

Tire wear is actually not bad. Kennedy is very good at wheel alignment. We drove the car to and back from Vegas and the tires were fine.
