kwvariant coilovers vs. jic cross
#17
My Father is currently using the JIC with H&R f/r sways on his TT. He used to have H&R on his C2. From my point of view, the JIC is the better deal. You get 3 choice of spring rates, pillow ball mount with camber adjustment, separate height adjustment and also more dials for the stiffness settings. Also from the previous Turbo shoot out that I read, the tt cab got the JIC coils and the review on them is very good. Btw, the tt cab took second place.
I got quite a few chances to drive my Father's turbo on the track. The car handled fabulously and it always feels planted. Car certainly feels alot more nimble but i cannot say much about the ride quality. This is his track car so ride quality isn't his concern. If this is the case, I highly suggest the JICs for its competitive pricing and the attractive features that it offers. He also have the stiffestest springs that are offered by JIC.
Other than that he also have the Evo CF f/r tower bar so I m sure it helps along with his porsche roll bar.
I believe that the Pss9 is more of a street use than track use. The previous H&R coil overs we had on the C2 handled beautifully as well, however it was a little soft for his preference.
I hope this helps.

no problems with my pss9s... with over 40K miles driven on them... whats really important is to have a race shop like Orbit racing do the install correctly... make custom drop links and corner balance the car...

Well guys I must admit after all the info and experiences I have learned on the board and from the race track I have gone with the moton clubsport set up, GT3 sways, camber plates, helper springs the whole deal.
I will post after the install is complete and my new sebring lap times also.
I went with this cause I didnt want to do it again later, but my "other" first choice was the JIC set up.
Again, my car is 90% track driven!

i was curious to get feedback on the kwvariants.
one forum member posted pics and great feedback alittle while back..
just wanted to know if thier were more out thier.
also in regards to rear sway bar.
what is the difference between an hnr rear sway bar and gt3.
which one is better and which one needs adjustments.
thanks!
