what is the car used for?

the V2 is very capable setup....

and im assuming the JRZ is double adjustable vs the V2s

if you need more fine tuning for a track car the JRZ is the way to go... but if its just your weekend/daily/ track day every once in a while type car I don't see anything wrong with the v2... but then again JRZ are pretty sweet

I have JRZ double adjustables with remote reservoirs. they were on the car when Jan was still touting the Cross coilovers. I love them on my race car. they are overkill if you only see the track once a year. at that level, you, not the car, are what is preventing you from going faster. a new set of coilovers will not magically make you 1 sec/lap faster.

If you're only going to the track once a year it would be a waste of money to change coil overs.
