JIC FLT-A1US group buy - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*AceInHole* · 01-13-2004, 11:34 AM

JIC FLT- A1US coilovers are 5 way dampening adjustable, height adjustable at the lower mount as well as having adjustable spring perches. They include front and rear upper mounts as well (I believe the fronts are camber plates). The springrates are 7/5, which is pretty balanced between a daily driver setup and a track setup. They're pretty much everything you'd want in a coilover setup.

The group buy is set for a 10 person minimum for only $900 shipped. Questions or interest should be directed to:

DAMN YOU SCUBA STEVE

anyway im buying an FMIC so... but i assume this will only last until 10 buyers are fulfilled?

boosteds14 · 01-13-2004, 04:33 PM

10ppl--- aceinhole, my mistake 6ppl will do just fine.

memphiss13 · 01-13-2004, 09:31 PM

man i wish i didn't order tanabe SS yet. if i can get out of this deal i may get in on these. i'll let you know.

so how long will i have to wait for these if i get them from you?

*AceInHole* · 01-13-2004, 10:01 PM

i'm assuming that the deal won't be finalized untill at least 6 people participate, but it's really a question for jeff (boosteds14). i have a friend on the B15 boards seeing if there's going to be any help from there as well.... so i don't think it will take too long for spots to fill.

boosteds14 · 01-13-2004, 10:44 PM

as soon as we get 6ppl the GB is complete

holisticbeatz · 01-14-2004, 01:45 AM

Count me in!

How do I sign up? Never been in a group buy so I'm not sure how it works. I've never heard of CIP Motorsports, anyone ever buy anything from them?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the A1s are like the A2s except they only have a 5-way dampening vs. the A2's 15-way. Besides that, there aren't many differences.

I believe the spring rates on the A2's are 8/6. So the A1's will have a softer/ more comfortable ride.

also the A1us arent inverted struts up front but beyond that they seem pretty nice and thats a heck of a price. hmmm I do need new coilovers.....

SkylineDriven · 01-14-2004, 12:00 PM

Hey this sounds like a good deal... I think I'm interested.... the A2's would be too stiff for my needs (I don't track) but these sound just right. How many people are defintely in so far? I have the money so I can go in at any time.

Forrest... you going to get these, or keep your Tanabe's?

SR20DETpwr · 01-14-2004, 03:22 PM

Are the FLT A1s prone to rust? If not I could possibly be in.

they are brand new on the market how the freak are we supposed to know? go read the info on www.jic-magic.com and decide

edit: Ace and or boosted... what would the price be for a set of the FLT A1us with 8/6 springs instead of the 7/5s?

the more and more I read/see about these things Im comparing them to the Tein HEs. for the money they have got to be the best bang for buck out there (on paper or internet at least)

memphiss13 · 01-14-2004, 04:34 PM

the shop i ordered from is feeding me BS saying that i can't even just pay them the restocking fee. so looks like i will be selling a set of tanabe ss.

driftz240sx · 01-14-2004, 05:15 PM

This group buy is different from the enjuku group right?

theronin · 01-15-2004, 12:26 AM

SkylineDriven · 01-15-2004, 10:25 AM

I just placed my order... still havent reached the magical mark yet. Need a couple more. Cmon people, call in your orders.

theronin · 01-15-2004, 12:10 PM

sent my money through paypal!!! YAY!

SkylineDriven · 01-15-2004, 12:15 PM

very very close now...

boosteds14 · 01-15-2004, 02:39 PM

update:

here is the problem. NOT INSTOCK ANYMORE!!!

Back order ETA 6-8 weeks. It is showing some coming in on the next container.

A1 for S13

A1 for S14

So for the ones that payed by paypal, email me back if you want your money back and the ppl that payed by Credit Card, Call and tell us if you still want to hold the order for you.

Mr. Foully · 01-19-2004, 08:31 PM

Just to review, double adjustable means you still get full travel at any height?

And these are double adjustable?

Salty_X · 01-20-2004, 12:30 AM

Double height adjustable means that you can adjust the height of the coilover via the spring perch or the lower bracket. Adjusting with only the lower bracket allows you to retain full travel.

Yes, FLT-A1s are double height adjustable.

I want to get in on this group buy but I don't of course want to pay now and wait 2 months. What is the deal? How is this thing being done now?

Its Canceled!

Check out the other one going on now. You can prepay but they are special order so you will be waiting the 2 months regardless

Hold up.. cancelled? When you guys found out that there was a backorder, someone from CIP called me (my name is Frank Yu) and said that he would keep me on the list and then I could get the Coilovers when they arrived.... so does this mean I am no longer on the list?

We still have your information and we can order it for you but it will be on a special order basis and the price will be different because of the number of people per order.

theronin · 01-21-2004, 05:01 PM

enjukus is still open skyline. just go over to that one. sorry that we couldnt do business cip you are all good guys

its all good.

I just dont like holding ppl's money for such a long time.
For one customer or two i will be happy to special order them with a deposit. But 6!!! Customers want there products as fast as possible and sometimes holding someone's money for a long time could make them cancel and then we run into the problem.

phoenixR34 · 01-23-2004, 04:53 PM

I called Enjuku and Vivid Racing asking about these (both list them), and I got 6-8 weeks from both places. When I called JIC, they said it's a new coilover that hasn't officially been introduced yet and the ones coming in 6-8 weeks is the first shipment. Either way it doesn't matter, just telling you what JIC told me. If I didn't have to wait 6-8 weeks (say 3-4 tops), I'd be all over this group buy.
