i'm putting JIC FLT-A2's (replacing H&R coilovers) in my civic in a week or two e-mail me in a few weeks if you want and i'll let you know how they are. the spring rates are 9kg/mm front and 6kg/mm rear. also talk to Adam from Z1 automotive, that's where i ordered mine from. he's put them in a few subarus and he said they're the best coilovers out right now for the money.

Car Info: MkIII MR2, s14, 94 mx5, 99 mx5. The beauty of rwd.
Myself, Mildse7en, and another guy had major problems with those crap pieces blowing out on us. Lousy build quality... Followed by lousy customer support... I've heard that they have "turned a new leaf" as to customer support, but am still wary about that... I warned a guy locally about them the week that he got them installed, then he laughed and said his weren't giving him problems, well, one week later they blew out...

I ran 8F/6R FLTA2's in NYC for a month or so. In short, they're stiff as hell, simply awesome on a smooth track, incredibly punishing if the roads aren't perfect, and have very minimal low speed dampening (boingboingboingboing). They tend to make odd popping sounds for the first week or two, but they became completely silent afterwards (none of the Tein pillowball clunk).
I ran them at the halfway dampening point. Sold them because I stopped racing the Rex and didn't need the punishment.
I'm now back on my Whiteline springs and the car feels like a Cadillac in comparison.
Only get them if you're a serious road racer/autoxer. If you want something for the street and to floss, go for something more liveable, like the Tein Flex or Wagon.

Maybe I can shead some light on this....they did recently change the dampning so it would not be as stiff, as far as the build quality if you think that they are poor quality you probally think that Cusco sucks also then. The same co makes them with the specs being for the US (JIC). We have never had a prob with them and we install quite a bit. The only thing that has happened is a customer tried installing them himself and one of his less than mechanically experieced friends thought that sticking a screwdriver up the rear tube would adjust it....all he did was release the gas...I had it rebuilt with in a day with JIC parts.
