well you still didn't say the spring rates (which probably makes a difference) but I'll wholeheartedly disagree with the "jiggly at low speeds" comment, because I don't get that AT ALL from mine.

You better stop buying parts alltogether as all parts are knock offs of something else. Your intitled to your opinion but I am going to tell you this.........if it were not for knock off's we would still be paying $500+ for every sub we buy, $2000+ for a set of rims, and around $400 for a cold air intake. Dont be mad at Rota for what it has done, be mad at the company that is charging people 4/5 times as much for the same product.

BTW MXS I coulda swore I seen where you said something about a jiggle at low speeds but I may be wrong(dont go all cray and attempt to attack my character)

i am running JIC FLT-A2 on both my civic and MR2. you need to know that there is nothing soft about these, they are a rough ride on the street but handle beautiful during cornering and more spirited driving experiences. i was able to slip in a set of helper springs though on the civic and they made a noticable difference in street driving.

get set springs or a full coilover with shock...in my personal experience the sleeve coil over is good if you like to adjust your ride hight alot but the overall performance is better from a set spring...or you can save your money and get the full coilover

and ive owned some rota's (Mugen RNR knock off) they were great rims

and i plan on purchacing the slip streams myself
