JIC-CT9AFLTA1 or Tanabe Pro SEVEN With TEAS

Well has any one driven a car with both of these on and can say which one is better? Or have a suggestion as to which one.

Haven't drive them on a evo BUT JIC's design is really old. Tanabe has been around for a long time and these are their latest effort.

Tanabe are typically based on KYB shocks, so solid technology.

My experience with JIC shocks are only so-so, i do not like the valving (but this is something personal), but JIC shocks typically have poor reliability, and need to be serviced.

I used to think that JICs were of a similar quality level to Tanabe, Tein and the other accepted high end Japanese Shocks until my trip to Japan in October. Apparently the Js have always regarded them as bottom rung equipment, particularly now they have changed hands and have lowered quality further.
I've personally gone for the Pro 7 with TEAS, and I can pretty much get anything at decent money.

yes i have also heard from people that FLTA1 is not a good choice

i would go for Pro 7 with TEAS if you are going to pick one in these two
and it is nice that you can adjust all the things with one finger
