WTT: JIC Magic Coilovers for STi
I have a set of JIC Magic FLT-TAR coilovers with custom spring rates. 10k in the front, 15k in the rear. These have an inverted monotube design (dampening adjustment from underneath). 15-way adjustable dampening. They also have pillowball upper mounts and camber plates in the front. Spring preload is independent from height adjustability. These are race ready, but tolerable for street driving. As far as I know, they are only compatible with the 05-07 STi's. Here's a link to the product page for more details. JIC Magic - FLT-TAR
These are perfect for the weekend autocrossers or even the hellaflush guys.
The MSRP on these were $2500+ but are probably around $1500 new now.
I would like to trade these for another set of coilovers with softer spring rates around 6k-8k. You can only decrease the spring rates with different springs so much before you need to get them revalved. My car has become my daily driver and having these coilovers isn't practical for me. Since I don't have another suspension setup to swap these out with, trades are my only choice right now without going back to stock suspension. I am willing to trade for BC Racing coilovers or any similar setups. I will consider all reasonable trade offers.

The higher the spring rate the stiffer it is. A higher spring rate means more weight is required to compress the spring. Spring rates are measured in lbs/in or how many lbs it takes to compress the spring 1 inch.

You can only increase or decrease the spring rates by about 3-4k before needing to get them revalved. Any more could speed up the wear down on the shock bodies. I'm trying to go from 10k/15k to maybe 6-7k/7-8k.
I could get mine revalved, but the cost of new springs and rebuilding the coilovers could almost get myself another set.
