mycotopian Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I am running JIC FLTA-2's right now and I have tried many combinations of the settings and they are just to stiff for what I was looking for. I want to eliminate wheel gap but maintain a cushier ride (close to stock) for the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I doubt you will ever get it to be as cushy as stock without problems. You need to sacrifice some comfort to lower a car or you will bottem the car out easily. Just deal with it and you will get used to it in time. The added handeling will deffinatly make kup for the lack of cushyness so attack the corners and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeracer Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Maybe just springs w/ the stock struts would be a better chose for you. "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycotopian Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 I want the adjustability that coilovers provide. I like being able to dial them in to my preference instead of buying several sets of springs to find the right ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWortham Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 KW coilovers may be a good option. But ultimately for the street I'd probably get the H&R Cup Kit if H&R ever makes it for the Legacy. They are not adjustable, but they make a well-engineered combo with progressive springs & Bilstein dampers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 The JIC are supposed to be one of the harshest riding coilovers. Almost any other coilovers will ride smoother. If you are willing to spend a couple bucks try getting some HKS Hipermax LS+ coilovers from Japan. The KW's might be a good choice as well, but with a firmer feel. I've also been very impressed by the ride quality of the Cusco Zero2 coilovers as well. I have the Megan Racing coilovers and they ride well, and are a very good value, but are a notch below the previously mentioned options in terms of ride comfort.

ebpda9 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 kinda hard to say, but i heard good things about the H-techs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutter2k Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 KW can get more comfortable than stock shocks with IONs springs. Not that IONs were really harsh at all. They were an excellent spring(I'm selling a set . KW's can get harder if you turn them up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycotopian Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 I am leaning towards the KW's. People seem to have alot of good things to say about them. Now I just have to move my JIC's first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceComp Engineering Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 KW Variant 2's are very impressive....coming from JIC's you will feel like you're in a benz that can still attack the corners well, without being upset by a mid corner bump or two.

Xenonk Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I am running JIC FLTA-2's right now and I have tried many combinations of the settings and they are just to stiff for what I was looking for. I want to eliminate wheel gap but maintain a cushier ride (close to stock) for the streets. you're not the only one that say that about JIC FLT-A2's for many other applications (as they were designed with race use in mind). HKS actually offers the luxury coilover (LS+) and they have the Performer if you want more performance. Blitz, Zerosports, Cusco, and even Zeal are very workable for the street use. KW is also another good choice but I dont think it has all the bells and whistles like the Cusco or Zeals does. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
