I had JIC FLTA2s on my Evo 8 and they were SPECTACULAR track coilovers. Not street worthy though.

JIC is based out of Japan, with a US branch called JIC USA. They primarily focus on Japanese makes, but they do have a sub-brand called 'Cross' for Euro makes.
Try Tein while you're at it. I had Tein Type Flex coilovers with EDFC on my Evo 8 (yes I was a coilover *****) and they were much more comfortable than the JICs. Tein makes products for 911s so they should have some for Caymans.

For performance (at least on S2000's) the JIC's are a better way to go than the Tein Flex's. Tein RS is a different story. Daily driving comfort EDFC will make a difference. Many people's Flex's were falling apart after a few short thousands of miles.
Another coilover system I can suggest staying away from are Ground Controls. They were **** on my S2000 and I was an idiot for buying them again on my M3. I can't tell you how many times those Koni's they use start to leak/blow. I am convinced that it is GC because I have not heard of anyone having the same problem with Koni suppliers like Comptech, TC Kline, or Dinan.
Really? My Teins were without problems. I drove my Evo in the winter with the Teins and they held admirably. Maybe poor installation?

I was only speaking about the Flex's on a S2000 - I have no experience with them on an Evo. I'm pretty sure it is a totally different system for Mitsu's vs. Honda's.

To my understanding.. HR makes a lot of the coilovers for many companies they they just rebrand them ie:techart. I'll look into JIC CROSS they seems to be used in a lot of cars.
I had FarnrbacherLoles install their custom (cayman GTR) JIC/Cross coilovers in my non PASM croc last Wednesday. It took a car that was great out of the box and made it into a surgical instrument. I put a 1,000 miles on it from Friday through yesterday (my wife turned me loose - like the dog offa leash!),with much of it on back roads in Vermont. My car was dropped about an 1.5', weight balanced and aligned. Even at that low ride height, in IMHO the car is more compliant than stock. I had driven the same Vermont roads the previous weekend in stock form (other than a FarnbacherLoles alignment done at the time of purchase) so I have a good basis for reaching that conclusion. My first DE is in two weeks at Lime Rock, it should be fun. $3,900 installed and one happy customer!
Cheers,
PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
