SF1 are an older Damper model from JIC.

They WILL slam your car as far as u need to go....seriously.

Ride is OK.

I dont understand why people request pics of a car on coilovers? they ALL lower cars the same. Some dont get as low...the SF1 will fully dump a stock body GS to the point where its undrivable...if thats what you're after. Im not sure whats hard to understand about that?

also, theres no damper adjustment on those. you have to ask what spring rate is on them to determine what the ride will be like.

Listen man I just wanted to see if someone has them already on their car, I dont want to be dumped on stocks I wanted to know if im going to be tucking tire or rim on 19's? Because ive never seen anyone w/ SF-1's. Id like to see someone else's set up if possible w/ them.

theyre not lowering springs..theyre coilovers. I could post a picture of a car on TIENS and one on SF1's and NOBODY could tell the difference by "looking" at the car....hell, even if the car had cut stock springs.

Me telling you that they are fully capable of dumping a stock bodied car was to give you an idea of how low they CAN go. Some brands will not fully dump a stock bodied car. These will. You can also ride them set high like a donk car if you so choose to.

Please read that again if you dont get it...a stock body. Meaning no bodykit to make it 'look' lower. I said nothing about stock rims.

Dont get all pissy with me because you dont understand suspension modifications. Ive owned SF1's on a Gs2 and am trying to help your non car moddin ***.

Im not a man BTW

Thank you.

EDIT:
Now that I remember, Ive owned 2 sets of these things.

Chill out damn..
I was asking how low they go, on JIC's website they say that the A-2's have a 0.5" to 3.5" drop without sacrificing the suspension travel.
I wanted to know that is it the same, lower or higher so dont get all pissed off.

A buddy of mine had a set on his Q45 dumped on 20"s. Like everyone says, they'll drop it lower than you need to go.

if you've seen ONE JIC lowered/slammed car..u've seen em all..im sure ALL JIC coilovers get as low as the other..as far as ride quality..ur gonna have to list spring rates for anyone to chime in on feedback or how it "would" ride..i have 13k front and i think 8k in the rear..and it rides pretty good for being slammed
