The V36 Coilover info thread
#77
Megan seems to be a love/hate from all the reviews I've read. Some have had absolutely no problems, while others got the dreaded rattle that would never go away.
IIRC, they were supposed to have engineered a fix for that problem. If they did, and if it's gone, they're a great bang/buck setup.

So far, it's gone like &@#*$^#. JIC shipped the wrong front units, and I've been waiting since Wednesday for the "overnighted" replacements to arrive. Now the guy from JIC is ducking phone calls and e-mails.
Needless to say, I'm more than a little pissed. If the sways and rear coilovers weren't already installed, I'd be tempted to ship the whole damn set back at JIC's expense. As it is, my car has now been tying up a friend's lift for 3 days, and I have to skip the 350z mountain run this weekend.
For the record, this isn't Acute Performance's fault - Michael has been great through all this, but he's obviously in no position to fix this. JIC has to do it.

Yeah, I've spoken with JIC quite a bit about this and they have designed new front brackets for the VIP's on the V36 sedan, but the new brackets won't be available until next month sometime. If you use the current bracket, it will work, but the car will be VERY low, even with the front coils at the max height.

I'm going back to the stock suspension until the replacements are in, and I can guarantee I'll never buy another product from JIC. Not only are they incompetent, but it took them 3 business days to get me replacement parts that I can't even use. Not once did they discuss the design flaw that made the fronts useless. If the coilovers weren't so well designed otherwise, I'd be shipping the whole lot back. To say I'm frustrated would be the understatement of the decade.
I have to reiterate that Michael at Acute Performance is not to blame for this mess. This has been JIC's doing, and they've done a **** poor job of making good on it.

Nope, he's still got them and is no longer selling his car! He was able to pull off the purchase of his first house without selling the G, so he is VERY happy!
