Any real issue of running the 'vert setup on a coupe other than stiffer springs?

[NERDE30]

Any pics of these on a sedan? If so I have not seen any yet!

Just installed in a friends coupe... and ride is comfortable not stiff( I'm coming from gc's 450/650) but not soft .. feels real good for the price

How's the install on these? Pretty Straight forward?

As straight forward as any other suspension install. You'll need a 15mm, 17mm, 13mm, 22mm... variety of wrenches and pliers. No cutting required of the front strut housings.

It's not a GC kit by any means, but it works well enough for street use.

What about spirited driving? will it be a lot better than stock? Im not looking for racing performance but I dont like body roll? I might be getting these if someone that has them tells me whats what :P

[ck_taft325is]

Oh yeah, far better than stock. I went from stock suspension with an S50 to JOM's with an S50. Night and day difference. That said, I'll say this once again, I would definitely upgrade the rear springs within the first 3 months of buying the JOM setup. ANY weight in the rear end of your car will cause serious binding of the rear springs. They are very, very soft for rears. The fronts are fantastic and mine are still going strong with 80+ miles daily driving on them to Seattle from Tacoma on some of the worst highway stretches in the country. I'm pretty low as it is so I'm very impressed with the setup.

Huh? I hope you aren't talking about I5

[be34st]

Finally got these on and I am satisfied. (sorry about the crappy pic)

Gonna tweak the setup a little bit. I want it to sit like this. And Now I'm in desperate need of a lip.

Thought I would throw this in here.

Fronts all the way down, no spring pads
No rear adjuster nut, no spring pads

Anyone have pictures of these coilovers installed on a 4 door e30? Thinking about getting these for my beater when will the new shipment come in?

[ck_taft325is]

Yup. On the way into work I go 167-N -> I-405 to 518 (I think it's 518... the airport exit area that ends in Burien?) to I-90. And going home I hop on I-5 and cruise down to 167 via I-405 or stay on I-5 to 18 -> 167-S. It's a mob ;)
