Everyone that i've known that has had jic's has complained about them, quality, stiction, ect... I can't testify first hand though.
hipermax iii ftw!!!!!

They are cheap at 1000$.
I believe that you can have blistien custom valve your shocks for your SC
And you have the ability to choose your spring rates.
Same here. I'm planning on doing them shortly, though.

Yeah, I get the impression that there are a lot of folks here who really aren't that mechanically inclined. The IS guys are worse - there's a current thread over there with a DIY on how to change your oil.

actually an oil change on the IS300 sucks. im not surprised people talk about that. if you have a lift it is actually easier to get the filter out from the bottom and install a new one from the top

back on topic. its stances or if you can build them yourself get bilsteins.

I have hipermax III's and the ride is awsome even on uneven NY roads. I just need to raise the front a tad so it can stop rubbing..If you want to slam the ride, these might not be for you..

I also had some experience with JICs on a couple Nissans..not bad but HKS FTW
