Not to be a hater, but I ran some JIC's on my Porsche 993TT and was NOT impressed. They rode like I was driving on boards. They made all kinds of noise also. I literally drove them for like 1500 miles and got rid of them. When I took them off, there were all kinds of score marks on the shaft. Maybe things have changed since then, but I personally would never buy JIC's again. Some people seem to like them, but I was far from impressed. I went with some Bilstein PSS9's, which I know are not available for our cars yet, but it was night and day. Just giving my 2 cents.

Yeah, but Bilstein will never make any suspension parts for Infiniti.

Maybe they will...., but I still doubt it. lol

PSS9'S are great. Always been a favorite for Porsche drivers due to its proven efficiency and close to stock ride quality. I don't know much about what JIC setup they had for the 993 TT back in the days, That being said, 993 is over 10 years old and JIC has been doing R&D every year to improve quality of coils over the years. Last years 350z JIC COILS have been redesigned already this year and every year they change something just for the sake of improvement.

Not to mention names but several suspension companies made in China don't even do any type of R&D for improvement on current products.

I don't work for JIC nor would claim that i know everything about suspension. I do know that for the G37, it would be up there as far as quality and efficiency with Cusco and KW once those other options are available. MY 2 cents and everyones 2 cents are welcome. Thats why we have forums

Most coilovers are going to look very similar. I have never had these myself but I have always heard very good things.

wow Jic magic... heard LOTS of good stuff. Got a friend with a tC who got partial sponsorship from them... he's taking his car to get a corner balancing done at a local shop here.

Hmmmmm... hey amplified, i guess they don't need corner balancing specs for our car since they doin it in the shop in Cali?

But otherwise, lemme kno and i can take my car with my friend to get corner balanced, and do other stuff if they wanna partial sponsor me too!

Dayum guys I went for a ride in Lou's car yesterday and it friggen AMAZED ME how good it handled!!! We hit a long sweeping right turn at about 90 mph and his car stuck it like gum on a shoe!!! TOTALLY DROPPED MY JAW!!! Normal driving is actually really good too. Went over some old bumpy roads and it didn't have us bouncing around like other coil overs i've ridden on... These are DEFINITELY worth the $$$... Needless to say i've already started saving for these bad boys...

BUMP FOR A GREAT PRODUCT!!!!
