Well guys i'm sending back my KG/MM springs. I decided to get a good coilover setup instead. I was looking at the Jic FLT-A2's but i'm not sure. If any of you have this coilover and could rate it for me it would help out alot or just suggest a good coilover to get. I'm not too worried about money, but I don't really want to go over $2000. TIA.

Tein RA/N1/HA if you can find them. I heard they're not making them anymore.

dont forget the Apex N-1 coilovers. pretty good. HKS makes a set i think. but i wouldnt recomend them cuz i had a friend with them on his RX-7 FD and the adjuster knob at the base of the shock broke off and leaked out all the damper fluid. not good!:eek:
and the JIC stuff is great i have heard nothing but good news about them. just make sure you look at what rates they come with, and what rates you want. depends what you want to do with the car.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I plan to do alot of open track events and some mountain driving. The Jic FLT-A2's from www.autoimaging.com say that the spring rates are 7k/5k, whatever that means. I've always heard springs in lbs/ft. Suggestions on spring rates and where to get a good deal on some Jic's would be helpful.

learn the metric. the suspension for our cras is going to be from a japanese based company (coilovers that is) most of the time.
7 kg is 392lb/in
5 kg is 280lb/in
track? s14? i'd say 8/6 is good. its ok on streets too. not bad. i can deal with it.
try jics website (jic-magic.com or jicmagic.com or something..check google)
