Jic Magic Install

Hey whats up fellas. I hust installed the jic
coilovers on my car and im really glad i went that route. They ride very smooth. The handle is great. I was scared to take a corner fast because the jics felt so soft. When i did decide to so what they had i was very impressed. I went pretty quick around the corner and it was like the car was beggin me to go faster. The only thing i cant figure out is after i put these on i have alot of slack in the steering and some bump steer. Is this due to my old ghetto setup. Could it have worn the tie rod ends down that bad. Could it be somethng else?
Anyway this has been my experience so far. i installed them on Tuesday night and they seem to get better each day.

Glad you like them. What are the roads like in your area? I live in Mass and they are aweful here. I want to upgrade my suspension soon just waiting for opinions between Jic and Tein.

As far as your problem with slack I have no idea. Wouldn't hurt to check your rod ends ball joints etc. I would imagine any altered suspension geometry would cause things to wear quicker.

Hey, did you get your car aligned after installing your JICs? Chances are that you did, but in case you didn't, get one ASAP!! Anytime changes are made to your suspension like that your alignment is gonna be way off. Have fun and enjoy the coilovers. I've got Teins but still think those JICs are sweet.
