Well, I talked to Ali over at ESX about buying one of the sets of JICs they have in stock.
Here's the confusing part tho: the struts they have in stock are only 1.5 months old, yet there was some question over wether or not they're the latest revision that includes the long stroke rear strut to combat bounciness on small bumps.
Ali told me he'd take care of me if they turned out to not work for my ride, so I ordered 'em! I should have the JIC's sometime late next week!
Also, after talking with Ali a bit on the phone I have to say that he certainly seems like a smart guy, and a good tuner. Considering they're running 9.6's, they must be doing something right!
I guess ESX gets a lot of backlash from the internet for doing things differently than other tuners, but I'm willing to recognize there's more than one way to skin a cat. Considering how friendly, helpful and direct Ali was on the phone, I'm now considering looking towards ESX for engine managment... which means eventually I may need to take a trip to SoCal for some dyno time!
(unless of course S-Squared get's a dyno before then
)
