Here are some more pictures of the coilovers. Keep in mind that because we manufacture the coilover, We can revalve and and rebuild to your specific spec. That goes for any Mono-tube coilover that we make for any vehicle. These modification can be done here in the US because we are a division of the actual CROSS/JIC company. This means that we can make the damper meet the needs and corner weights of the specific build. Also, unlike many other companies, you will notice that our coilovers are adjustable by the bracket and not by the spring. This ensures that your suspension will have a stroke that suffices at any height range. Keep in mind that if you slam it, the geometry of the arms will be off causing affects like bump steer in the corner. Now seeing as how semi basic the coilovers mounting moints to the chassis are on this car, I can see how an I-bolt may look like an I-bolt. All our bushings and hiem joints are tested in many Japanese racing like Formula 3000. Also know that because of weight, IS-F coilovers are revalved to meet the slight weight changes compaired to the regular GSE20. If anyone has any questions about our products, suspension exhaust or wheels, feel free to pm me.

Upper rubber mounts instead of Pillow ball hiems to absorb road noise and keep ride comfortable


Lower brackets machined by CROSS/JIC in own facilities


Upper pillow mount plates are normally thicker than majority of leading manufactures in many of our models.


Cuz we Raced them

Werd. I have had both JIC and Megan and the difference is night and day. The JIC's smooth and very responsive like when you go over a bump it rebounds quick. With the megans it feels like a boat, going up and down and up and down, plus they blew on me....

JIC FTW. I'm not switching to another coil system.

update: there is such thing as 'too low' for daily driving in Cali (for sure not in Texas!) without shaving the fender wells. (especially with the tire sizing i've got on the front; 245x35) :/ iE: dont go in the driveway with your homies in the car. i've learned that lesson. so i had to raise my car a little and now i've got to fix my fender lip which bent from the steep driveway. GAY. [IMG][/IMG]
