I don't know why don't you let me try out some coilovers for a while and I'll tell you if there is anything wrong with them. I don't have any personal experience with them but others said to stay away from them so I did. But I am sure somebody will have something to tell ya about them.
The reason we all hate their products is b/c they suck.
I don't know if I can remember How many coilovers have blown out on various cars! And it was NOT due to any improper installation or use, ... so don't try and go there.
as they say, JIC = JUNK

I didn't say I wanted to pay for it I'll try some of your coilovers for free I ain't buying them If they hold up for like 6 monthes then maybe they are good. But you have to read the posts above dosen't look like anybody is going to buy your products. Looks like the quality just isn't there. If enough people on this forum said they were the best then you would have more Subaru owners at your door wanting JIC products. (my $.02)If they were as good as Tein (which I like their stuff) and cost less then I'd buy some.

Satin, Not to **** block but, I don't think you drive your car hard enough to test anything out. I don't think I've every seen you at any track event.
JICHawaii if you want a test case you should find someone that AutoX's and goes to all the track days. Just my $0.02

I'll be there 22 Sept and I have been out to a track day. I have not been able to attend any others and I was joking about trying out any coilovers if you were unable to tell. I can't make it out to Auto-X because weekends I take care of my Austistic son who can't be left alone for a minute SO thats why you don't see me out there if you want to watch him I'll try to make it out more often.
Plus you guys take what people say too serious need to relax a little drink a beer Chill.... Sean is probably the only person that somewhat knows me and I think he knew I was joking So I edited the post so people would stop thinking I was claiming to be better than anybody else.

Whoa! Call Homeland Security...this thread has been hijacked! JIChawaii, I know of a few people who you could contact directly (but I'm sure you have heard from them since they have had their struts sent back to JIC for rebuilding), or I'm sure they will post in this thread. Not to say your products is crap, but we just go from what we observe.
Satin...look at it this way. Most of us here who actually have pounded our cars at Solo II for a few years and at track days have a different way of looking at poeple who claim they beat on their cars. Even if you do "beat the HE!! out of it going to and from work on base" (as you so succinctly put it), I'm sure we all do the same in some way, shape or form. Beating your car from home to work on a daily basis is not quite the same as beating the hell out of it at a track event. Besdies...you shouldn't be "beating" or driving your car hard on the streets anyway.
One last piece of friendly advice...don't talk smack unless you are 110% positive you can do what you claim.
It was a good idea to edit the post before you got flamed bad. It's not that we need to chill...it's just there are too many people claiminto be bada$$es, but when the time comes to prove themselves, they either back out or they suck pie hole. It's unfortunate that you got the brunt of that, but it's how people react sometimes, especially since we didn't know the situation regarding your son. We all have no idea what kind of effort that takes.

I'm truly sorry to hear that.
Like Ditch said many people can talk the talk, but not many can walk the walk. Again, sorry I was so quick to comment.

No I should have made it more clear that I was joking I know how easy it is to think somebody is talkin smack when you are not face to face when it is over the net you can't see people's facial expressions. I am probably one of the last people to talk s!#t like I said before I don't claim to be better than anybody at anything well OK I am a better driver than my wife that I do claim. I post on I-club for all the knowledge that you guys have and are willing to share and the time you guys give up to help others on I-club not to get in a pissing match with anybody I give Sean a hard time because I was such a pain in the a$$ when we traded bike and car so he knows I am a pain in the a$$. Like I said I would like to get out to the track more life sometimes throws a wrench in things. My wife even tells me to go but she is with our son all week and he is a hand full if anybody knows somebody with a Autistic child they know where I am coming from. And Mike I didn't take anything you said serious as per what I said above.
