Coilover comparison thread
#31
My JIC's are on stiffest setting and I would not like it if I dove it daily so I have to try the softest to see, they are quite easy to adjust for the track (15 minutes or so) so if they are really nice on soft then I will vote for them, has anyone tried the softest JIC setting here yet????

Some of you are saying PSS9 has height restrictions. Is that mean it cannot even get GT2 ride height from it?

I have my JIC's (7/10) set soft and it both handles and rides great. As my car is street driven only, it is perfect. Also (unlike my H&R's) they make NO noises. Love it.

...and which are the #front and #rear that you may use for confort & safe street-highway drive?

Wow - lots of suspension threads these days. A lot of guys love the JIC/Cross setup. All hardcores poo-poo the PSS9's as being too girlie. I fell in the middle. I have a very low 996TT with Techart Vario Coilovers paired with 19" TA Formula wheels. Stiffness pretty much dead center for me.
Check out this thread for all my woes with lowering.

Now, i did take the car pretty low, so it took some patience and $$ to get it right. But, i do love the look and the ride. Definitely stiffer than stock, but still comfortable. Had to swap out the rear arms for GT3 lower arms & shims to add camber adjustability. If you do it, find a good shop that knows what the hell they are doing, and validate your alignment and ride ht all around. saves you a lot of $$$ in wasted tires.

Big Chev,
I fouind my JIC/Cross suspension way too stiff for street survival on the stiff
setting. I felt like I was on/in an old covered wagon and my fillings would
fall out soon...
I will try the softest setting on the street or maybe one up from there.

Is there enough adjustment in the front to correct the camber without adding/replacing parts?
