Been going through my entire suspension this year and have replaced EVERYTHING with volk (where possible) and FIBA upper arms. Everything else received new prothane bushings. All of this in my build (front lca and fiba upper arms to be updated). I live in the south and my jic flta2’s got cleaned up but are on probably 130-150 street miles. Very hard to rebuild them these days. Do I sell them on snd replace with feal 441+ and then have the suspension professionally tuned or what? Not going on track, street 100% of the time, want grip with reasonable ride.

Ride now is really decent considering mileage and how low the car is. Arm me with the knowledge my 22 years of being a dsm owner doesnt have. What have you done?

I also am on a set of JIC's I got from Muellerized forever ago. My plan is to go with the Ohlins, last I priced out a set of the Feals that had the options I wanted it was $4K+. Ohlins from the tried and true man himself seem like the logical answer. To me, ymmv.

He is the reason I ordered the JIC's in first place. I just couldn't afford his services at that time. Times have changed. I'll look those up!
Check my build thread - OHLINS need fabricated custom parts to install in a 2G. Not a budget solution, but OHLINS are light years more advanced than JIC's, and JIC's were awesome.
 
I don't think the website has been updated in years? I would call or shoot them an email to see what they have available and current pricing, keep us updated.
 
Made some real progress yesterday. Had a few snags but I’ll try to document everything for the next guy. One more corner to do. Then probably tow it to gran turismo to get aligned and the bump steer kit installed.
