Why do you think the JICs are junk? Did you actually have them installed, corner-weighted and aligned? How much did you lower the car with the JICs?

I hate posts where someone just says X is junk and doesn't offer any reason to back it up.

Useless, IMO.

How low did you drop it? I know 3 local S2000 owners who have the JICs, and are happy with them. I actually just ordered a set for myself today.

Never had I bottomed out. My car isn't slammed to the ground. Went with a modest 1 inch drop. Rides even better than stock.

Maybe you should take the breath, and while you take pause, press the period key once in a while. It's tiring to read your rambling.
