Hey Jason, the thing I love about the jic's is the way that ride height is set. Conventional coilovers are lowered by compressing the shock body so ride quality is compromised since you're shortening shock travel. With the JIC, shock length and travel is fixed and the car is lowered by lowering the entire shock through the shock carriers. So no matter how low I go, I get the same amount of shock travel whereas on my pss9's, at this ride height, I had very little shock travel left and the coilover was bottoming out on bumps.

How would you compare the ride to the Bilsteins? How low have you gone on the JIC's, is there much lower you can go?
And finally, what is the ET of your rear wheels? Looks like they are around ET45?

I've got the JIC's on 2nd softest and 5th softest out of 15 settings, and its slightly more stiff than the pss9's on the 4th and 5th hardest settings. These are more competition based than street so they're not comfortable, but their not necessarily uncomfortable or jarring either. I'm happy with the way they ride and i've yet to encounter bumps big enough to make me go softer. This is the lowest i've gone, but the front and rear has another 0.5"-.75" left. The offset on the rears are a +48, so you're close!
