KW Variant vs JIC Magic Coils

price for these are around the same neighborhood of an arm and a leg.

so basically it all comes down to the purpose for the coilovers.

my G37 is my daily driver and I live in NYC with ridiculous potholes and terrible roads that the city use my tax money to fix yearly.

what I am looking for is to lower the car "the right/proper way" and keep the ride quility as stock as I can.

So for all you suspension/coils gurus, which coils should I go with?

thanks for all your inputs

Either one of those will get you what you need... I'm gonna be getting the JIC's... But you can't go wrong either way IMO... Potholes shouldn't be a problem when you're running coilovers, they should be able to absorb them... Might be bumpier, but that's a given with coilovers... I've ridden in G37's with JIC's and the ride is great... Handles GREAT in high speed turns and are comfortable enough to be driven on daily... So IMO, JIC FTW...

yes I am aware of that, I'm actaully just looking for owners of these 2 sets to giv eme their input, I'm sure most of them had to decide between these two and maybe others since they are around the same price

There are a handful of members on here that have either kit which they all have been happy with. As everyone has mentioned already, you can never go wrong w either brand. Ive used both brands on my personal cars and can say they are both top notch. They offer a great ride and the handeling is amazing on them. You may have to just flip a coin for it.
