The company name is JIC Magic. There are several models of coilovers: SF-1, FLT-2, FLT-A2.

Seems like a lot of comments form people that don't even have tiens


You need to remember when you set the stiffness you need to back them all the way off (counter clockwise) then set the stiffness

So
15 clicks doesn't mean there set to the 15th stiffness setting

Just as 10 clicks doesn't mean there set to the 10th setting

10 clicks could mean you brought them to the 16th setting and so on

This is a big mistake people make when they get tiens


Back them off ALL THE WAY then set them

That's not correct. The correct way to adjust Tein's is to set them to full stiff (clockwise) and count back the clicks from there.

The correct way to to set them to full stiff (fully clockwise) and them back them off from full stiff.

See I didn't think the ride would be that different. I doesn't bother me people sometimes complain, so I tell them to take a cab.

JIC COILOVERS

The Jic FLT-A2 is so sweet, the ride is firm but controled. Im really happy with them. I bought them at this shop in mississauga called KENSAI RACING it is a hard core store. They cost me $2800
