again, I will not agree with this... depending on the application, not only will spring perch come threaded but typically the shock body will be thread on the mount as well...so if you're lowering the perch you can lower the strut to get normal travel. settings are typically trial and error... IMO if you don't have the time to play with settings don't get any of the high dollar coils, adjusting to someone elses settings is fine but won't give you the feel YOU want. also be aware the rates so also match the struts. as RYS said becareful with softer rates.

And if you're not satisfied with them, you can return them for an exchange to another set of springs or your $$ back. Now, how's that for a guarantee??!!

Oh, and they won't give you that "off road/show use only" crap, their springs are made for the daily driver. Their website is www.roadmagnet.com. Look for the contact telephone number and when you call ask for Mark Habicht, he'll provide you with more information. One of the members here, MrMark, has them installed on his 2IS and is very pleased with them, if you want more feedback about them, you can PM him as well.

Thanks Alex, I'll check them out. I presume the springs for the 2IS is not out yet after looking through their site.

Oh yes they are!!, they just haven't updated the site. Just contact Mark Habicht and he will give you all the information about them. MrMark (a CL member) currently has them installed in his IS 250.

I specifically was stating that the JICs are not setup from the factory to be slammed. It's not that you can't set them up, I mean that if you only adjust the ride height, you will be sorely disappointed.
