Definitely not . You've helped me a lot with deciding what parts to get.

nice install. With my JRZ res's hanging from my sway bars they get so insanely hot after driving the car hard. I will relocate mine after I run a bigger exhaust manifold.

yep that is why we moved our cans to the front as much as we can. And try to put somewhere where is the air flows. As it in this pictures.

Nice set up by the way!

Yea, I saw your passenger side was a little close to the manifold. By the way, where did you get those gromets for the rear? I couldn't find them anywhere and had to use some firewall gromets from some cars in the junk yard. I'd like to switch them out as they don't look pretty.

Thanks! I did move the driver side a bit so it's tucked behind my piping, used the same mounting location though, just different angles. Had a problem with the above setup, I wish the line was a foot longer haha.

First ride with the JRZ was unreal. I don't have a rear sway bar at all becuase of some unforeseen events, but even without a rear sway (not even OEM), the car is a totally different machine. I can't believe how amazing it is so far. I really need to go find an empty parking lot and play around with a bunch of the settings.

Well, 5000 KM's later on JRZ RS Pro's and Nitto NT01 tires, I couldn't be more happier. The tires have held up excellent across 5000km, they're still almost all there and in great condition. The car is a complete blast both on and off the track with R comps and JRZ .

The build quality is 100%, they couldn't have done a better job. They fit like a glove, I ran into zero problems installing them and setting them up. The best part was I knew if I had any problems at all, Bryan or Dan were always an email or phone call away. They respond to their emails within minutes and keep you updated all the time. I love that I know I'm covered when it comes to these two companies.

Performance wise, they can't be beat. The car felt so great at the track, I had no issues at all. I haven't quiet adjusted the rebound / compression to optimal settings, but I will be in touch with Bryan one track day to do it with him over the phone. Everything was left on the settings they came with in the box, so there is a lot of room for improvement on performance.

On the streets, the car rides like a dream, it rides like I'm on stock suspension or better. The only time it gets ugly is when there are dips on the road, the car loves to hug down on them and it can get bumpy. Small quick bumps aren't an issue though.

If you can afford JRZ, do it without question, it is the BEST. If you can't, put off other mods and save up, it is by far my favorite mod of the vehicle, it makes it a whole new car. In fact, I think I'll call it Evolution 10.5 .

They ship these coilovers like a sex toy or p0rn apparently - Inside this unassuming box that is not all attractive or labeled lies a pair of the sexiest coilovers made.
