B) As a long time Rennlist member and sort of contributor (I ask more questions than I'm able to answer) I have seen that there are very few absolutes. Some people love turbo noses, some not. Some enjoy cashmere interior, others only black. Some keep their engine tray in place, others snicker. Some even like 996s. Some think JLo is hot, personally I think she's a diva with a fat ***.

As far as ride impressions it really made the car feel like it a sports car. Much more compliant than my old sc with hds and turbo bars, I can feel the road but an getting no complaints from my passenger.

So it would seem that to adjust the height I just loosen the lower collar (red ring in the left of the pic above), adjust, and tighten. Awaiting confirmation / new documentation from JIC.

I had PSS9s in my last 993 and the car was great. The settings available worked well for track and street use. With JIC the coils are too harsh to begin with so that the rebound adjustment alone does not make it bearable.

A Porsche tuning shop in LA told me that JIC is considered the lowest segment of the market in Japan. I'd have to agree.

I didn't understand to begin with why anyone would put a Japanese product on a German car.
