which susp to go with jic/or tein

Which set up would you all recomend for my S13?
1. JIC FLA2 at about 1500.00 includes front upper adjustable mounts, springs are 7 front and 5 rear
OR
2. Tein HE at about 1500.00 includes adjustable upper mounts, springs are 8 front and 6 rear?

Which one and why?

I've been debating between the jic or the tein flex and leaning more towards the tein flex about 1300.00.
Also the zeal's have been looking pretty good too.

i'd say go for TEIN, since they have a better reputation on products

Agreed I have a nice set of driving masters on mine and my buddy just bought some Flexes. If i were you i would go with the Teins HE's ...then tell us how "pimp" they are! ..

Cool

I have a set of Tein HE and love them. For the price and quality its worth it. Because you get everything.. pillowball mounts, camber plates and 16 different levels to play with. I hear JIC isn't too great. Thats what I hear from some ppl at the track. Everyone that hits me up about my suspension likes the Tein HE.

JIC's are $1500? I though they were cheaper... anyways, I've seen some threads about complaints from JIC's service dept. which might not matter at first, but if something goes wrong, it might be a hassle.

... Teins are nice. No question. Zeal's are wowowowow but too much $$ too.

I vote for Tein on this one. Since you quoted exact same prices, I'd choose Tein over JIC any day. As mentioned above, quality and reputation are leaning more toward Tein.
