so anyone put this on yet?? so if they are stock length, we cant cut sections out of the front?

[DivineStyler]

I haven't put them in yet, but compared to other coilover kits I've used, if you want to run it low with stock length struts, you will be on the bump stops.

Here is my 325i (not the car getting these JOM coils). Before I shortened the strut housings, I was on the bump stops just sitting there, so I had no suspension travel.

can someone speak in lame mans terms... sorry I'm still learning... school me on bump stops? Does that mean the will basically be at the lowest position sitting on the part which prevents the car from dropping down any lower when it hits a bump?

If so the ride will be very stiff and hard yes? I don't know please explain... thanks.

So if you're going 2-3" lower on a stock-length shock with soft springs.... Are you riding on the bumpstops a lot?

Unfortunately, they are stock length.
Also, the springs are pretty damn soft. They'll be fine for the beater I'm putting them in, but I wouldn't put them in any car you plan on driving aggressively.

If you have received your coil overs please let me know as well as I will be marking you as received on the list. Thanks, Mike

I received mine yesterday.

are the shocks even short enough to allow for sectioning? If it is, i may consider these but if they are regular length, you wont get very low

Looked roughly the same length as the odd Billie sport I had kicking around in the garage. No actually measurement but a side by side. I'll try and find my camera and get some pictures.

has anyone compared front strut length to regular strut length yet?

[ck_taft325is]

Recieved today. A couple days ahead of schedule.

Once you guys start posting and reviewing make sure to do it in the JOM thread in the suspension section so that we can keep this thread cleaner for the people who want to buy.

Wow please install these. I am about to bite the bullet.

I got an email from les yesterday apologizing for the mix up and he is shipping the correct parts out today.

Mine are 2 days out. Not sure I'll get these on until Dec. 12th or so. S50 swap, coils and wheels all going on roughly in the same week.
