just wondering what settings everyone is running and how it's working out. i'm new to suspension and need some help. mine are not corner balanced, but take probably an inch or so off all 4 corners. i have the dampening at 5 clicks short of the stiffest at all four and the rear springs are replaced to be stiffer than the front (9k in the rear). my camber is -2.5 front and -1.25 rear with 0 toe. any help would be great or a link maybe to learn more about suspension and what i should be looking for cause all this info was given to me by someone who runs an evo 9 in my local scca region who had these coilovers previously.

 

Starting from the stiffest settings:
Street: About 10 clicks up front and 8 clicks in the back from the stiffest
Road Course: About 5 clicks up front and 3 clicks in the back from the stiffest
Auto-x: About 3 clicks up front and 1 click in the back from the stiffest

 

^^^^ mines close to that

auto-x.... 4 front 2 rear....
street..... 7 front 5 rear

(going from full stiff backwards)

 

and maxed out camber...!

 

not 100%, but pretty close

 

can you actually tell a difference in handling with those click adjustments on the JIC's?

 

I had heard that the JIC's don't have a lot of real adjustment range in them. Hard to tell without a shock dyno graph though.

 

it isnt too noticeable click by click.... but every 2 or 3 clicks makes a difference [feeling wise]....

 

Bit off topic, I was wondering how the JIC's ride on the street? Are they harsh? I'm looking for a suspension upgrade very soon and have heard good things about the JIC's.

 

which spring rates are everyone running?

 

Im running 12 on the front and 8-10 on the rear. I think the spring rates are 10 14k. There just about right for street use a tad on the stiff side but nice on the track.

 

mine feel pretty stiff, im thinking about changing to 7/8kg, anyone running this and what are you thoughts?

 

I daily drive and autocross on mine. I run a minimal drop, about -2.75 degrees camber front, -1.25 rear, 1/8" toe out front, 0 toe rear, with a big rear bar.
Even re-valved, the first 5 clicks don't do much on these dampers. I run full soft front, and zero to 10 clicks firm in back.

I'm running something insane like 850lb. (over 15kg/mm) springs on mine because they came off a BSP car. The rates are much higher than what is optimal for street tires, but works for now. I'm pretty sure they have been revalved.

The car is very loose and loves to slide all four wheels, even with almost stock power. I am either going to go down to much softer springs, like 6/700lb. or change to different suspension altogether.

 

I heard the JICs are bouncy on the street but perform well when tracked.

 

JICs are bouncy period. They can perform, but compared to other dampers, they are bouncy. Just about any asian damper under $3k is relatively bouncy.
