JIC or Tein Suspention for 1G's

[G-Ell]

I know a couple guys who run the Tein system in their 3Kgt's and 2G DSM's, but I haven't found a distributer for the 1G's. I'm looking to replace my stock suspention with a fully adjustable (height, firmness, and camber) system like JIC or Tein in my 91 Talon. Basically an alternative to the AGX/Ground Control combo.

Uhhh, because KYB's blow?



I'd say it depends on your budget and your plans. If you can afford getting JIC's, I'd say go for them. If Tein had an RA trim or at least a higher trim than just the "FLEX" system, I'd go for them over JIC, but the Tein systems just seem a bit too "entry level", and their rear spring rate is very soft in comparison to the JIC's. After the point of JIC money, you're hitting the point of diminishing returns, as in you'll be paying double for a suspension system that might be 20% better or whatever, like going Bilsteins with remote resivoirs, which I don't believe are needed for a street car.

If all you want to do is just lower your car and make it handle a little better, I guess KYB/GC's would be okay.

Now now, igs, I wouldn't go THAT far.

GC's are probably the best sleeved coilover out there for the application right now. Granted, it pales in comparison to a true coilover setup, but GC's have been more than proven in club racing.

I mean they CERTAINLY beat out Weapon R crap, and the rice-a-like stuff.
