Not actual picture but some guy is selling a set that were all silver with SILVER camber plates and non damper adjustable. Height and camber adjustable only. Says they have a black spring like the pic, only difference in the pic is the upper mounts are not gold but silver. Are they SF-1 just older versions?

I know SA-1s and FLT-A1s are 5 way adjustable and FLT-A2s aren't even that color and are 15 way adjustable. Are there any other JIC coilovers that I'm not aware of? He says they're off an S13 clip from Japan so they might be pretty old. BTW he's selling them for $400 so I'm wondering if they're worth it. Lemme know guys thanks!

Dont buy those. Those are the JDM version. If there blow your screwed. If you try to get them serviced at JIC USA they wont take it. Just save up and get NEW coilovers.

If they're not leakin' from the seals, they should be alright. $400 is a good deal... I suppose It's a hit or miss..

Do you like to take chances?

ahhh ok..

so they're JDM SF-1s?

how do you tell if they're leaking? (might be a dumb question)

if you unscrew the collar a bit, fluid may seep out from the threads in the body. Also, if you remove the spring, compress the shock and it never returns to its original state, theyr blown.
