JIC magic FLT-a2 coilovers for $500?
Yay or nay.
Guy is delivering them personally for an additional $50.
Should i go for it?
These retail $1900 brand new.
The lower mounts are fully adjustable so i can slam the **** out of my rx7 without comprimizing suspension travel.....
"they're a bit dirty. my basment and driveway are mud but theyll clean up"

Nay, asians don't know how to valve their shocks correctly. All that JIC stuff is just bandwagon crap that was made in chna for $9, worth $0.50 due to poor design, and selling for $1900 to suckers.

Get a set of Bilsteins, GC coilovers, and be done with it.

Yeah, well the thing is i didn't ask for alternative suggestions.
I asked if i should pay $500 for these coilovers.
My stock springs are saggy as ---- and i'm pretty sure i've lost quite a bit of oil from my stock shocks. It rides like a lexus....
Keep in mind that i'm doing my suspension for drifting. Front and rear lower braces, front upper triangle brace...etc. I want to put a full cage in but i wont be able to afford tubing for a while....
The 240 and rx7 crowd speaks highly of these coils. I've never heard anything bad about them. I just figured i'd see what others thought.

Buying shocks and getting them properly valved and gassed > buying ricer super adjustable bullshit.

Those things look pretty well used. I would say try $400. I paid $500 for my Teins with HKS springs and Cusco camber plates. Stiff. Is that a daily? I daily mine but I don't give a ---- about ride "quality". My S13 is for drifting too. No power steering, stiff suspension and welded diff on the street all day.
Did he say if they are blown?
By the way JIC Magic is high quality not ching chong ricer ----
