Found this little tidbit over at Honda tech have heard alot of horror stories about JIC products looks like another one http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=878754 anyone else have any bad or good experiences with JIC.

 

A number of us have had mixed results with the JIC products.. http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...ght=JIC+preload
I would not buy anything else from them.

 

No personal Expieriences, But the horror Stories I hear I will never buy anything from them. I have only heard one praise myself but I dont like the fact that they dont stand behind there own product. Kinda Shady if you ask me.

 

once pre-load properly and alignment was set, i kicked some tail at auto-x's and on a small infield course at TMS. i was happy with them.

 

Duc has them on his car now!

 

I have the first-gen right now. I'd go Tein RA if I were do re-do my setup.

 

How do yall setup these coil overs? You you just measure ride height or do you use scales?

It seams that scales are very necessary to distribute the load properly. It would be very easy to load or unload a single wheel resulting in a very poor performing car.

 

some one posted up a calculation not too long ago about this.

i think we ended up adding 1" of preload all the way around and then made the adjustments for ride height as a seperate adjustment... once dialed in it was awesome.

search for gernby's thread regarding the preload

 

this is the thread as listed already

read through it you will learn alot

 

A lot of rambling,,,,,,I didn't get much out of it. I do know the only proper way to set these up are with scales once center stroke is achieved.
