I just installed some custom JIC coilovers that were were spec'd by JON the owner of JIC for track spec with upgraded valving from the normal top of the line coilovers and I cannot emphasize enough that they are the best single mod I have ever done to any car. I am building a 1000 hp Buick Gn with a LS1 and have many LS1 Camaros and a autocross Celica GT-S and can't say how much of a difference just installing JIC coilovers with my crappy mismatched driver tires that I bought the car with has done. I did a CA-74 run and with my stock GSX wheels and crappy tires I can brake and turn like a superstar. The tires cannot keep up with the suspension its wild.
If anyone is interested I can do a ride heigth setup thread on them. I set them at 6/15 setting and with 7/8" drop. The car with the stock t25 and 15psi runs to fast for the POS tires I have on the car to handle. I did a back to back run of the same road and turns that I did at 40 max with the stock setup I can now do at 65 and be glued to the road. The coilovers also make the stock brakes perform much better than before and it is worth mentioning.
