^ okay now give a reason why. Asshat.

I thought i told you to leave...hmmm.

Oh well.

I have JIC FLTA2, its my second set. Sold my first set because it was to soft for me. Nontheless there great. I love them.

The valving is more agressive than tein, which i had as well.

Since it has the inverted tube design. But thats just my preference. Good luck with your pick.

Kei Office is OVER RATED!!! BTW Kei Office is not that expensive.

Kei Office Coil-Overs range in price from $1350-2250 so that puts them the same price as most other coil-overs. Kei Office c/o are over rated by people who think putting them on there car will make them the drift king. I had Kei Office GU's and have to say the tein SD are much better.

Tuxedomask, do a search for coil-overs, fined out what spring rate, adjustabilty, features you want and then go with the coil-over that gives you all of that.

JIC suck i have seen many a pair bust on people, a friend of mine just had his give out a 2nd time and JIC wont replace them this time.

Kei Office are good coilovers i rolled a set for quite some time, the pistons we larger than any i have ever seen on the street and they took may more abouse from me than they should have. however i wouldnt pay the price for them again. budy club makes some really nice coils in the 1500 range along with the GP Sport GR-6 for less than that in about 1300 i would say tein SD or silk road RM-8, for less than that KTS or d-drug

Whats with all the damn arguing thats been going here? WTF???

Tein is a real good co. to go with but as the others said, its your preference at the end. Depends on what you wanna do and what you have planned for the car.

Do a search and read up on coils and the diff types of coils, diff types of setups, setting, etc. Youll learn alot by searching and reading. When your educated on the part, its easier to make a choice. Good Luck

BTW TEIN Drift Spec is what im going with. My car is Drift/Daily driver so its a pretty good coil system to go with cus its not so stiff when doin some daily drivin.

everyone is gonna have their own opinions like most things. i would look at the specs and features and compare. read reviews and do your research. i am still looking and researching.

Thats the only real answer here....just like everyone has there own opinions everyone will have different experiences with different products....You just have to research on compare and make an educated decision based on what you found. It STILL doesnt garantee that youll be happy with the product, or that it will/or not fail, but its the best you can do....
