comparison
there isn't much of a difference between the Apexi and JIC. if you look at the top of the line kits, they are pretty much the same thing. 13-way (Apexi) and 15-way(JIC). Don't get me wrong Tein is a good brand as well. I think they even account for about 45% in sales in Japan, but you'll rarely see them on any track cars. I liked all Apex, JIC, HKS, and Zeal. but JIC does the same thing the rest do but at a lower start off MSRP price. and then with the group buy, it's even lower.
