My JIC Majic FLT-A2 coilovers are on their way!!!
#21
I called Ground Control In October and they told me that they already had prototypes being tested on a few peoples rides...I haven't called them again but I would think they're pretty close to being released by now. When they do, I'm sure they'll be much cheaper than the ones out right now and the quality of their products has always been good, so....Just wait a bit...It should be worth the wait

yes
thats cool with what GC is doing, but remember its not a real coilover system, just sleeve setup. Cusco and the other bling companies suspension setups are complex =)

I stand corrected thank you NCP 31-
Even so I dont think I can handle being dumped @ 4 inches on a daily driver. The ride has to be harsh, especially with the way the streets are kept in my city.
I am curious to see pics of your ride after the install, keep us posted-
Peace.......

as far as i know the vacanza series coilover is good. There are different variations of the coilover, so it depends on what you want. If you want some details and pricing, pm me =) I can get my hands on this stuff for a pretty good price

Proto K7,
Just shoot me (or Alex at Bozz). I just got my Vacanza Zero Wagon coilovers and the shocks are NOT adjustable. Alex thought they were, but aparently his Japanese translating needs more work. You were right, I was wrong. :oops:
The E-Wagon coilovers have cockpit adjustable shocks like the Tein EDC, but they don't have an set for the bB. The Z-Wagon set that I got has adjustable springs and adjustable strut bodies in the front, with 3.5K springs. Just a bit stiffer than the Tein Wagons I have now, but not as stiff as the 5K springs on the JICs.
I'll post a review in the next couple of weeks after I receive the front sway bar. I want to install everything at once. I'll also post pics of the install and each of the individual parts.

Hey good lookin out NCP, no problem. I searched around quite a bit before I made a decision, I knew they did not have the dampeners..........
Cusco's are still very nice and they made it very hard for me to decide........
Peace-

Ground Control coilover "kit"
0-2.8" all around!
Yes, they are not full coilovers but who really needs that for a car like ours? If you know Ground Control, you must know they have a good reputation for making high quality parts. I know the $1400 sets are good but if you don't need all those bells and whistles(most of us) these are without a doubt the best at just over $400. After intensive testing the finished result is ready and is being manufactured as we *speak*. I have a pair of the first sets that have been released and now only need one, so send me a PM if your interested in buying a kit or simply want to check out the quality. I'm in Orange County, CA...

Dude....45 days as of japan to long beach...........
New news, I opened the box and found that there are no camber adjusting plates with these FLTA2's, I dont even see pillowball mounts. XB's are not equipped w/Macpherson strut........therefore no plates, therefore my ___ hurtz.....
JIC didnt even tell me this
I AM ____ED!!!!!!!!
SCIONLIFE needs to change the item description for these coilovers so others like me arent mislead.
.........45 days yo....what would be your reaction......!!?? dambb........
Besides the obvious they are still pretty friggin sick........
PICS SOON...............
