JIC-Magic Coilover

Ok, here are the pictures for the JIC Coilovers for the P11 Primera.
Installation was a breeze.
After the install, the first thing I noticed is that the car doens dive or squat when accelerating/braking, allows me to take corners smoother and faster. The suspension is very stiff, the spring rate is 10kg/cm at the front and 8kg/cm at the rear...super stiff!! The size of the piston rod is about three times as thick compared to the TEIN ones and the whole thing is about an 1.5inches shorter than the TEIN unit. The result? AMAZING!!!
Although I havent test it on a track yet (July 7th I'll be at Streets of Willow) while driving around the streets, i dont not feel any understeer taking corners. I have tremendous controll of my car and the JIC unit is very very responsive. Turn in response is uncomparable to the TEINs, the car had little sway even in the hardest turns and as I go faster into each turn, it made me realize i can go even faster the next time around.
Final word, the TEINs are nice....it's the perfect street set up with VERY soft ride (even on stiff settings) and allows you to feel sporty with the car. The JIC are race coilovers. I love the stiffness and the performance of it is just amazing. I will let you guys know how it did on the track and compare the lap times between the TEINs and the JIC...the JIC will yield far better lap times.
Enjoy the pics
