Okay, I didn't know where else to ask this so I put it in this section. Has anyone tried the new JRZ coilovers on their car yet? Not really model specific just wanting some feedback on the quality of the stuff, especially the triple adjustables.


BTW, here's a link to their site for people who don't know much about them.

Seen full blown race cars using them. Have to be something good.

They also custom make some items for Dinan.

My buddy went to some suspension shop in the metro area that has set up a handful of ALMS cars, SCCA club cars, all kinds of stuff (unfortunately I don't remember the name of the place or the guy) but he raved about these things. Said they were the best money can buy. Apparently, long story short they are made buy the same engineers that designed the Motons when they came out. I am definitely gonna have to get the name of this guy and ask about him on here soon. Anyways, just looking around for somebody with some personal experience with these products. Performance? How often do they have to be rebuilt? Etc. Thanks!

Rebuilding depends on the driver. If you drive them around on the street then more often, track only then less. Or maybe you want to set them up for each track...

If they are like Moton you will be fine, if they are like the Ground Control setup then go elsewhere. I just don't want to deal with Ground Control. Seems they blow out and need rebuilts at 2x the rate anything else does.

JRZ makes very serious suspension for very serious drivers (as in most people on here don't have them and probably don't have any idea what they are), although from the site it looks like they do have some off the shelf type setups for BMWs and STis. technical info can probably be best attained from JRZ themselves. Most high end race suspension companies will probably recommend rebuilds every season, just to venture a guess.

We run the JRZ 3ways on our time attack car. While they are expensive the support you get afterwards is hands down the best in the industry. If your interested in getting a set let us know as we are JRZ dealers.

I'm good thanks. I'm going to get them at this shop my friend went to. The guy who sets up the cars has two track oriented BMWs and is a Bimmer aficianado, although he is good with anything. I wish I could just remember the name of the place...
