Before anyone says anything, I have already researched the forum, and I've narrowed it down to BCR, TEIN CS(T)?, and JIC's. I'm currently running and plan on continuing to run 18"s on a daily drive with a moderate to heavy drop, but not slammed.. if that makes any sense. I'm looking for something with similar to a stock comfort, but with good handling. I'm willing to compromise a little comfort for stiffness. Also, can someone explain to me the difference between monotube and twintube designs are? If price was not an issue, what would be the best fitted coilover option for me, and why? Also, what is the difference between the JIC FLT-A2, and the FLT-TAR?
Agreed. JICs are pricey but very well worth it. My alternative would be Tanabe Sustec Pro 5.
are the JIC's and tanabe sustec's monotube or twintube designs?? i also read somewhere that BCR's are taiwanese and have the possibility of breaking, but could be repaired quickly via some type of cartridge??
I too have heard good things about JIC's. I went with BCR's because they seemed to be the best bang for your buck IMO due to price/quality and features such as dampening etc..
features of dampening is common but the 30-way is what separates BCR... but overall i'll still go on JICs... i've sat on a couple JICs.. they ride much better than stock in terms of comfort... even running with a 1 finger gap all around....
no doubt BCRs are the best bang for your buck... but i still think that JICs will hold the value and the durability...
like others have said id go with JIC. more pricey but worth it. I have the BCRs and they arent bad. defintily well worth the money but there are some small issue that you need to work out. other than that, id recommend them.
