the jic flt-a1 has a pretty stiff ride and if i remember correctly the older version are not adjustable in the rear. you can also get them for 1200 brand new at speed alliance

i also heard that JIC customer service isnt the greatest either. i was looking at getting a job there. seems like they hire one person to do 4 persons job so sometime you might get someone who doesnt know much. also i hear that jic doesnt last long and will need rebuilt especially with how heavy the SC is, suspension takes a beating.

I understand your position, but if you can, always buy new suspension coilovers or shocks/springs..never buy used. You never know how they were treated despite what the owner says. Personally, I recommend you get the Bilstein Shocks for the supra TT + good springs.

id reccomend bilstein w/ swift springs. Havent tried it yet, but i know it'll be a REALLY awesome combo.

The problem with the SWIFT supra tt springs, is they're lowering springs. Cumatively, they lower your SC (w/ supra tt bilstein shocks) an extra 2 inches. On a Lexus SC, that would be too low for daily street driving imho. I would prefer oem supra TT height springs used in conjunction with the Supra TT Bilstein shocks since they're already lowering the SC ride height.

Go with the JIC's if you know the owner and someone can vouch for him. Personally, I think Teins are played out, I had Teins and I'm currently running the JICs. JIC's ROCK!
Depends what your going for? The JIC's are very stiff along with my Daizen Bushings, man the ride is harsh! Hit me up if you want to feel the ride, I live in Aiea and I can meet up with you.
BTW, $800.00 is a great deal! tanner
