Tein or JIC
 

Whats the cheapest I can get these coilovers for?
Basic model for both, bottom line. ?

Tein, I believe the BASIC DAMPER series is available now.
i don't know the prices in CDN for this, but maybe around 1k- 1200 out the door?

or you can get the SS (Super Street) dampers.
but i think HA's are even better and are about the same price..
these should be around $1500 out the door.

JIC is even more expensive, because of more dampening and rate adjustability, comparable to the Tein RA's I think...
Kennedy HiFi quoted me 3K for JIC set for my Integra.

check out www.psychotic-racing.com
or www.speedstate.com or contact SW20_MR2
for great prices.

JIC is some hardcore ****, but for the same prices as JIC, I'd probably get a set of Zeal S6's or something in the Zeal lineup.... :nods:

Tein is good for daily/occasional track usage IMO. Tein HA's are as far as I'd go for street, anything above that would be overkill unless you're a hardcore autocrosser/road racer :nods:

You have lots of other alternatives if you're looking for lowest line Japanese suspension setups such as Cusco Comp S and Zero-1, GAB sports, Mugen lowdowns (I don't think they're that expensive), Zeal B2's etc. the list goes on :p

keep looking, but remember, lower modelled suspension systems like Cusco, or Tein do not have an aluminum shock housing so it will be prone to rust, but just keep in clean in winter or take them things off during winter :p

I have pricing for all of the systems at the shop. If you need pricing, just email me:

Fightex or Ohlins

This aragosta?? :D

Hard core race equip't, but best for motorcycles. They do make rally and other race susp though, as evidenced by the above photo. Only thing is... good luck servicing it.

I only saw it in an Options magazine and all I know is u get to build it by sending specs to them :p

looks like a different Aragosta? :p

Ya, not bad... if you know what you're doing suspensionwise. Actually, I have a great deal of respect for all West/North European dampeners (Bilstein, Koni, Eibach, Ohlins... etc)... I think steel, chocolate, cheeze, and dampeners are the only things those bastards know how to make :p

i heard that JIC and Zeal are basically the same designs but different names like Zeal helped design JIC or the other way around but they are definatley in the same line up area y not go buddy club then my friend paid 2300 for his buddy club for his S2K they are jus as good if ur getting into like JIC and Zeal just as good but cost less jus my $0.02

oh yeah! the buddy clubs are nice :nods:

I saw a set of buddy club dampeners are the post office like late last week at Warden and 7 :nods: damn I was drooling just looking at the box say "Buddy Club Racing Spec" :yummy:

I think they are all nice dampers, everytime I see one from Buddy Club webpage I just can't stop drooling...

hahaha u know what those dampers u saw were my frineds lol they were goin to speedstar i beleive yes i must say they are great best bang for bucks in the high end range i mean like TEIN and JIC Zeal and all them very nice ride
