The car is slowly becoming a track car that I use occasionally on the road (2,500 out of 4,800 miles are on the track!).
Leading evidence: 'Use occasionally' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use car' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I was intending to use the car for street and some track, for which Cross is perfect.

For more serious track use I'd go with the moton club sports...

however, if you plan to use more than 50% on street, do not use motons.

I can't tell you how many times those Koni's they use start to leak/blow.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

JIC is based out of Japan, with a US branch called JIC USA. They primarily focus on Japanese makes, but they do have a sub-brand called 'Cross' for Euro makes.

I see... i hear good things about them... and a couple of shops are recommending them for installs.
anyone have any good reviews of coilover kits of our car? techart, hr, moton or even bilstein pss9 (i dont think they're out)
Try Tein while you're at it. I had Tein Type Flex coilovers with EDFC on my Evo 8 (yes I was a coilover *****) and they were much more comfortable than the JICs. Tein makes products for
911s
so they should have some for
Caymans
.
For performance (at least on S2000's) the JIC's are a better way to go than the Tein Flex's. Tein RS is a different story. Daily driving comfort EDFC will make a difference. Many people's Flex's were falling apart after a few short thousands of miles.
Another coilover system I can suggest staying away from are Ground Controls. They were crap on my S2000 and I was an idiot for buying them again on my
M3
. I can't tell you how many times those Koni's they use start to leak/blow. I am convinced that it is GC because I have not heard of anyone having the same problem with Koni suppliers like Comptech, TC Kline, or Dinan.
I was only speaking about the Flex's on a S2000 - I have no experience with them on an Evo. I'm pretty sure it is a totally different system for Mitsu's vs. Honda's.
To my understanding.. HR makes a lot of the coilovers for many companies they they just rebrand them ie:techart. I'll look into JIC CROSS they seems to be used in a lot of cars.
Thanks.
I had FarnrbacherLoles install their custom (
cayman
GTR) JIC/Cross coilovers in my non PASM croc last Wednesday. It took a car that was great out of the box and made it into a surgical instrument. I put a 1,000 miles on it from Friday through yesterday (my wife turned me loose - like the dog offa leash!),with much of it on back roads in Vermont. My car was dropped about an 1.5', weight balanced and aligned. Even at that low ride height, in IMHO the car is more compliant than stock. I had driven the same Vermont roads the previous weekend in stock form (other than a FarnbacherLoles alignment done at the time of purchase) so I have a good basis for reaching that conclusion. My first DE is in two weeks at Lime Rock, it should be fun. $3,900 installed and one happy customer!
Cheers,
I just noticed the Bilstein has finally listd a part number on the website for
cayman S
PSS9's...
a fine choise indeed for street/sport enthusiasts with light to moderate track use.
For more serious track use I'd go with the moton club sports...

I have the Cross suspension on my
Cayman
also. Farnbacher installed and aligned. I was intending to use the car for street and some track, for which Cross is perfect. Very compliant on the road and great control on the track. The car is slowly becoming a track car that I use occasionally on the road (2,500 out of 4,800 miles are on the track!). I would have gone with more of a track specific setup if I had know this from the start, but I can't say anything bad about Cross.
i do have motons on my car. however, if you plan to use more than 50% on street, do not use motons. to make them worth while, i tihnk you need at least monoball upper shock mount (if you are nuts, got heim joint everywhere). even with monoball uppers, they can get very noisy on rough streets.
but on the track, i dont think there's much that come close to the motons. jrz and leda perhaps, but they aren't any cheaper.
FWIW I've had PSS9s in three other cars and was always happy with the outcome. I went with JIC/Cross system (marginally more $ than the PSS9s) because FBL had invested alot of time tuning them for the
Cayman
.
Cheers,
