Has anybody dealt with JIC suspension? They hava a coilover kit that looks pretty cool.
Any Idea about spring rates? Mugen comes with 7/11 and Tein comes with 10 all the way around. Any ideas?

JIC Magic is a very reputable company and their products are awesome. I would rate the FLT-A2 system on par with the Tein RA setup.... They use pillow-ball upper mounts, and adjustable rebound/compression, i think 16 way adjustable.

The spring load is 7 front, 8 back.

I would also keep in mind that alot of JIC stuff is for drifting, so the spring rates reflect that.

10/10 is pretty darn stiff, too stiff for street use to most people. That's about 550 lb/in, which is really high for street use. Stock springs are nowhere near that high, so expect a rough ride!

Doc,
I totally agree buddy. I feel that the FLT-A2's would be a great setup for the S2000. I said that the 10 kg/mm springs would be a bit harsh for the street, aka Tein RA. I'm sure that the JIC's ride very nice, as they do on my Supra. I have pillow uppers on my Supra, but not adjustable as far as camber. I was just going with what I know on my car. I plan to get them for my S as well.

Also to add - the threads are cad plated - so no rusting, and no binding when trying to make height adjustments after driving on them for a while.

I have them up for grabs here:

but unfortunately the shocks will not be available until the end of December. the second set is being delivered/installed at the moment.

Doc,
Nah man, no offense at all. I'm glad someone as cool as you has the JIC's on the S.. JIC is an awesome product, and I'm glad that people are starting to take notice. I'm really interested to hear what you think of them, since I was planning on adding them to my S as well.
