Cusco Zero2R vs JIC FLT-A2 coilovers

As some of you might know, i bought my evo not too long ago and i really want to improve the suspension greatly. I know that i want coilovers but i cant make up my mind on either the Cusco Zero2R and the JIC FLT-A2's. I have done some looking around and seeing what ppl on this website have and evrything but i havent seen a forum that talks about this subject (Zero2R and FLTA2s). Now, i want coilovers for the profromance but to also get rid of ALL the wheel well gap on all 4 corners, if not all then the most i can get, i hate a wheel well gaps. I dont want to have the wheels tucked under, just right on top. So i guess im askiing which one will give me the better proformance, along with the look i want for my evo? I plan on buying 18" wheels down the road alittle bit, if that makes a difference. Thank you everyone fr your imput.

It's in Japanese..what info are you looking for?

You really cannot go wrong with either setup...much more a matter of personal preference than anything else

Go to JIC's website at www.jic-magic.com and you'll find an explanation of the FLT-A2 and FLT-A2 RS coilovers.
