Jic are making these suspension kits for my car model:

1- SF-1
2- FLT-2
3- FLT-A2


which one should i choose?
i am confused! i know that the SF-1 is a street high performance coilover, not damp adjusted like the konis. SF-1 is the cheapest and i am only thinking of getting the one which is right for me. FLT are known for track use, but both FLT-2 and FLT-A2 are damp adjusted, while i think and i am not sure and hope someone will correct me if i am wrong:

SF-1 (height adjustables, not damp adjustables)
FLT-2 (not height adjustables, but damp adjustables)
FLT-A2 (height adjustables and damp adjustables)


I want JIC, cause they are very famous in my country. I trust JIC, cause they are good quality suspensions from Japan. I hope you guys can help me out. I am thinking of using the car for street use and proabably with a 1-1.5" drop.

Need opinions.....etc

I would just get the SF-1'a, because it seems like you want to adjust your height and it should be fine if you only want a 1.5" drop or so.

i always wanted the SF-1's cause they are height adjustables and come with these high quality pillow upper mount, but the thing is i am afraid if i drop my car 1.2", the car will be very stiff and the SF-1 is not a damp adjustables, so i wont be happy with my drop if the ride was very stiff. :( I want to buy these full coilover system, but can anyone tell me if the ride wont be any comfortable. I know that, the lower the car goes the stiffer it becomes, but is my ride gonna be f?ckin stiff or nice exciting stiff, which is still comfortable kinda thing when i drop 1.2"?????


another 2001 civic question:
Who can tell me what is the range when droping my car, without loosing comfort ride and still get a better cornering? <-----looking for numbers. BTW to get rid of the fender gap on my car, i need a 2.5" of drop, so this is number is gonna be stiff!
