FIRST PROTEGE5 WITH JICs .....

[PR_5_PRYNCE]

hello everyone i would just like to inform you all about my JICs (FLT-A2s)... i had them put on this weekend, and they are the best suspension you will ever have. Everything on it is just perfect, front camber plates, slotted hole for rear camber,pillow ball mount, 15 way adjustable dampening, gas charged, and no matter how low or how high you adjust the height, the ride is always the same. this suspension is the s***...im having to much fun with this...the ride is soft but stiff, doesn't bounce like crazy when going over bumps and i only have the suspension on 3 in front and back and im taking corners like crazy should i say more....

except thanks to Rishie and Shawn for all this....o yeah and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RISHIE !!!!!

PR_5_PRYNCE,

I'm glad to here that the JICs are that good...I have been thinking about getting them, but I just dropped a lot of money on my rims and tires so I'm going to have to wait. I had a couple questions though. Once the JICs are on at the highest ride height setting how much does it lower the car? Other JICs i have seen seem to be around 1.4" I was wonderin if the Protege5 was the same. Also for the rear coilovers did you cut the plastic in the trunk so you could adjust them all the time?

Thanks,
Jaime

you can actually go higher than stock height way over stock height... and as for how low ... i havnt tried it yet but im sure you can dump it as in tuck rim.. ill try it sometime and take pics... as for adjusting the dampener.. its actually at the bottom of the strut... so i didnt have to cut anything... all i have to do to adjust it is stick my hand under the strut and turn... good s*** huh? well if you have more questions just shoot .. alright talk to you later

Contact me for club pricing. Quantities are limited and Tein can't touch this. It's like the Hammer said back in the 90's. hehe.

There's no comparison. The majority of Tein's being used out there are the HA's and those are just a way inferior suspension. this is more along the lines of Formula one engineering. monotube damper with independent preload and ride height adjustments.

List price of $1850.00. Contact for club pricing.

Thanks, Rishie
