IMHO(don't slap me too hard~!), you *NEED* to tint those side markers. Any other color would be fine white, but that's just too much contrast for my taste. Then again, it's your car, keep doing what you're doing.

On a scale of 1 to 10 and 1 being where I think the Maxspeed/Stock Strut setup was, the JICs on their lowest setting on all 4 struts (where I still have it) Id have to give the JICs a 4. Definetely can feel alot of imperfections on the road.

Thanks....no comment on the sidemarkers?
Speaking of road imperfections, how much difference did your new wheels compared to your MOMOs make?

Well, what i am saying is on the toser's you can adjust from the spring and from the bottom part. By adjusting the bottom part I still maintain the struts full suspension travel. From what I have seen this the same exact thing that the JIC's do. I would have to say even when slammed these toser's perform pretty damn good

So not sure.
The new wheels felt pretty good, with the Toyo's im not feeling much. Probably the same with the Momo's with the Falken tires.

From what i have been able to find out toser is a very reputable company in japan. In the picture i have posted is with the height set at about 1/2 a finger gap in the front and a finger gap in the back(I know its hard to tell because its at night). With this height they ride the same as when I first put them on at stock height. I'm also a stickler for quality, I just think I got a damn good deal.

I know that first pic was when I just put them on. Since then I have lowered it. No problem though man, I hope I didn't come off the wrong way either.
P.S. I would have gotten JIC's also, but I'm just a broke a$$ college student whose got a addiction to wasting all my on my car

The FLT-A1's are the new 5 way adj. JIC's. The FLT-A2's are 15 way adj..
As for the camber plate I thought the FLT-A2's didn't come with them. I thought you had to purchase them seperatly.

Where can you get the FLT-A2's for $1500.00. Cause I can get the FLT-A1's for $1000.00 shipped. You can buy upper pillow ball mounts for $380.00 so I still can be buying for cheaper then $1500 minus 10 adjustable points. But if you can find me the A2's for $1500.00 point me to that directions.

Are the JIC noisy? From looking at the pics, I don't think there is an isoloator between that upper perch and top of the spring coil. There might be a possibility for noise. I guess some lube would solve that problem.
