TEIN or JIC magic?

which one do you think is better, i was told that JIC's are better but TEIN is great for how much cheaper they are than JIC's coilovers......if i can get them for the same price, which do you guys think i should get?

And does anyone know of any place to get the JIC's? please give me a link to any and all places....please.

and dont give me this search crap, i looked and there were no threads comparing them both.

Eeesh. Bitter. Plus I doubt anyone can afford to have 'em both. If you ask me, the Teins are probably a better value overall but the JIC's are probably more suited to more serious hardcore track days since they also replace the top mounts for a firmer ride overall. The cheaper JIC (FLT) doesn't have adjustable dampening while the Tein SS does. You have to pay a major price for the adjustability FLT-A2. My guess is that a comparison between the different levels of dampening (how precise and how much adjustability between firm and soft) would probably be the breaker. I'd love to see a shootout of the two.

Tein SS: adjustable dampening, adjustable ride height
JIC FLT: adjustable ride height, upper mount replacements
JIC: FLT-A2: adjustable dampening, adjustable ride heigh, upper mount replacements

hahaha, just alittle bitter about all the search stuff.

i heard somewhere that they have the FL2-A2's for 1200 to 1300 and the the tein's are 1200 so i was thinking of getting the JIC's for the remainder more if they are worth it...... pjal, dont forget that the FL2-A2's have the ability to adjust camber also....now thats pretty nifty!

That is quality...hooray for cornering. However at MSRP, I don't know if the A2's would be worth the sub-2k price tag.
