PIC Performance coilovers

I've been reading very good things about PIC (Power In Control) Performance's coilovers on H-T. They're being compared to Skunk2's Pro-Cs etc and they're around $400USD cheaper than the Pro-Cs.

Does anyone here have them, have any experience with them or know anything more about them?

They do two main types, the PIC Apex which is comparable to D2's etc and the PIC Select which as I said above is being compared to Pro-Cs and Ground-Controls.

I'm looking at either these or the KONI/GC combo. I'd prefer the PIC option though coilover sleeves always make me shudder.

True that, just got pricing for shipping, they replied within minutes!. He said between $100-150USD depending on location in NZ. So a set of PIC Selects could be landed for max $1200USD or $1500NZD. Pretty reasonable!

have been talking to Jim @ pic for a few weeks now asking questions

your looking at about $1500 landed at your door for the PIC Selects

$1700 if you include the lower control arms.

there have been a few good reviews around

once i get a new car they will probably be what i get

Yup they're probably what I'll get in a couple of months or so when I redo my suspension. Probably the P3s at 12kg and 10kg....

I had a little communication with Al, Jase. They are unbelievably helpful
