JOM Coilover System Group Buy #3

[lupac]

Hey got my set just have a quick question about the install.

Am I gonna need to use a spring compressor??? Just want to know if i do or don't because I don't have one and can only find them for 70 bucks which I would rather not spend. I guess I could rent one but if I don't even need one thats even better.

Thanks,

Yes you'll need a spring compressor and possibly a tool to get your tie rods off. Just rent one. It's a deposit and I can't remember if you get your full money back or most of it.

Cool thanks!

Pickle fork is required but i would not say a spring compressor is. I didnt use one but I am mexican and we are known to skip safety steps LOL

You can do em without a compressor just lay the old strut on the floor and impact it off

Are these only inserts? I'm confused on how to install! Can someone post a thread on how to install? Thank you!

Front:
Remove full strut assembly
Take it apart and remove the strut and spring
Cut off the spring perch
Insert new struts
Put some rubber O-rings on the top of the strut housing, and slide the adjusters over them
Put the springs on
Bolt it all together and put it back on the car

Rear:
Unbolt and remove the rear shock with a jack under the trailing arm
Use a spring compressor to take the spring out
Put in the new shock
Put in the new spring (a compressor may help, but may not be necessary)

That's about how you do it and it's pretty similar to any other coilover. I know I missed a couple things, but I hope that helps a bit.

Any AutoZone will lend their spring compressors out for free....
