I have the PBMs and I feel theyre still too soft even on the stiffest setting. I can feel the bodyroll. Anyone else have this problem? I know im dumped but ive had coilovers on other cars that wouldnt dip and bounce at all. Im thinking about selling these for the stance GR+ since thats what I see most people drifting on.
i'd bet if you change all your bushings and made them solid with some short sway bars and our cars would handle quite nice.

you gotta remember the SC was meant for luxury and not performance. i have pbms myself and i except the feel of them because i know our cars were never meant to be handling machines.... they feel nice on the highway though you two gotta admit that i cant feel even the biggest of turns.

Im looking for road raceing coils. I dont want to go the cheap way out, so if JIC's are gonna take me faster into a corner then those are what I want. So why are PMBs good for drifting but not JICs. Are the JICs worth the money?????

ok drift and road race are two different things.
drifting, you want super stiff no give suspension so you can transfer all the weight to slide.
road racing, your all about traction, so body roll is actually better than no body roll to some extent.
i dont want to think hard about it, but thats it basically! the jic's are more responsive while turning, where as the pbms would most likely slide out because their only purpose is to be stiff and the actually strut rebound on the pbms i know are not as good as the top brands.
kinda hard to explain for me, this probably makes no sense.
