JOM Coilover System Group Buy #3

[Mr. Tasty]

okay are the valved differently or just stock e30 kybs?

I heard they were stock kybs

[Sabertooth]

Finally got these JOMs installed onto my car.
Amazing shipping, ordered on a Thursday and they came Monday!
Here's a picture with them on from last night.
Note that I have the adjusters on in the rear, probably why it's sitting kind of high.
But I'm very happy with these, the ride is very nice. I would recommend them to anyone.

jom shocks are kybs fyi

Is it me or does it not say "kyb" anywhere on those shocks....

They are probably similar to quality.

For the price I think GE coils + kyb's would be the way to go...

Is there anyone here that have used these at the track yet? If so, please chime in on how they performed.

[haramosh]

i might be picking up a set of these in the next week or two, They will be used at the track for me so i will let you know how they go!

There are a few people here that have in fact tracked these coils. They seem to be fine with them as long as theyre not slammed. Theyre definitely a tad on the soft side, but will definitely do the job.
Im sure if you look far bacj enough on this thread you will find some talking about their track setup

Mine came out with a little man power and everything disconnected. The fronts are easy I just spun the collar all the way down and it bolted up perfect. However ill get pictures of my rear shocks and want to see if any other car has had this problem... On the rear shock the part that covers the piston on top broke. Thus causing it to slide down and rattle. Any fix or should i just weld it?

Damn, mine did that exact thing. I put a bit of JB weld on and it's been fine for the past few days. Not sure about longevity though.

Is the rear spring loose if you install it without adjusters? I feel like the base of the spring wouldn't fit as snug

[SoCalKidz]

I just used some quick steel stuff. Hopefully it works I hates the rattle. But other than that and the soft rear springs I love these.

I thought I read every post in this thread. Maybe I missed something. Some mentioned that they were interested in tracking these coilovers but no one actually has posted their first hand experience with them on the track.

where did you get your rear springs from?

[Vivek]

I bought them off a forum member. They're about $69 each new (i think). If I was to order new ones I'd definitely get something stiffer.

For anyone interested in running it that low: The ride is HARSH. I really wouldn't recommend it for anyone too far over 20. The suspension travel in the rear is very minimal and your ass will bounce off the seat. But I fuckin love it.

Tell me about it. My e34 is a so harsh right now with Volglands and no spring pads. Its bone jarring.
