Who's got JIC coilovers in their GS2?
I just need feed back and opinions.
1. How was the ride before and after you put the JIC?
2. How low can it go? how low did you go? Pictures would be nice!
3 If not JIC, what's the other coilover you are considering?

1) Well before the coilovers it was stock suspension so it rode like a stock car. With the coilovers installed, the ride is super stiff and it handles way better.
2) It can go really low, not sure how low. Just look at the pictures below.
3)Teins
A few pics (the coilovers are capable of going lower but then we wouldn't be able to get it out the driveway)

i hate you seize! LOL
just when i wanna put my car back to stock, sell all my parts, and stop mod'ing, there's always a thread or post when you gotta bring back pics of your bro's car! just evily convincing me to start buying parts again. LOL
anyway, if wanna go low w/tein, you'll have to get flex or ss to slam. i'm assuming ride comfort isnt a priority for ya if you're considering JIC's .
i'm on and lowest i can get is about same as seize's bro's rear and maybe a 1/2" higher than his front. i was flush in front but still had about 3/4" of thread i could drop. but i dont have the jp kit so my car isnt as stunning dam it seize! hehehe

I have the JIC SF-1's I believe thats what they are called, I have had mine going on 5 years. for the first 3 years they were pretty comfy, smooth, and stiff......now they are getting bumpier, and the shocks are losing their dampening resistants. overall, they are pretty good.
I can go at least 3 inches lower on front and rear, but then I would be able to drive. I beleive the JIC have the lowest ride height adjustability.

As far as ride quality is concerned. The words "comfortable" and "super stiff" don't really coincide. I mean you have a car that's super low, of course you're going to want the coilovers to have the least amount of rebound possible. Oh and you're definitely going to feel the road more
Bottom line is, you're going to sacrifice some degree of ride quality when lowering your car. It's pretty much the price you pay for handling and looks.
