JOM Coilovers

[sampayne]

Aye,...thanks for this thread,.. Working on scoring a JOM set-up from another member, in the process of a full suspension rebuild/upgrade anyway, post pics of before & after(for a proper build thread),... assume I can run billy-sports with these, since I have a pair,....

Bringing this thread back from the dead, ... but did you ever end up doing the jom/bilstein combo? As I just bought an IS that has joms installed and would like to swap out the blown shocks.

Anyone looking to sell a used setup?

Sorry to reopen this. But these coilovers do NOT require cutting the strut housing, correct?

No cutting required but it would make adjusting them a hell of a lot easier.

If anyone on here has more than 100mm of clearance in the front with an is lip, how far from the bottom was your adjuster? I need to know because that is the legal lowest my car can be and i don't want to have to go back and readjust them

LOL WUT? take of lip and go lower then

^nope

Can anyone confirm the difference between Vert/Coupe Jom coilovers? Nothing appears to be different to me. Just the spring rates perhaps?

different spring rates is correct. Since cabrios usually weigh more than hardtops, the spring rates for the verts are higher than the hardtops. A lot of members with hardtops actually run the vert setups to add a little more stiffness.

[manpie]

nothing. I'm running some on my vert.

What color is that?

The rear spring in the kit is too soft? how soft is too soft because I use the eibach pro kit with bilstein touring shocks and I bottom out quite often. Been looking to get this kit and was wondering if I should use the eibach rear spring in place of the JOM?

I have been running on my JOMs for about 2 months and I like them since I daily drive my car everyday. not too stiff at all for casual cruising. They corner decently too with a little body roll. I do too have the issue of the passenger rear being a little lower than the driver's side rear. But not too bad. here is a picture

Front and rear adjusted fully to the lowest setting.

nice. car looks great btw. yeah let them settle and see where they are at!

[htown318is]

yeah, I installed them exact same way.

Im not experiencing excessive bounce from any particular corner though.

Im hoping they just haven't settled in evenly just yet.

thanks for the reply, this is how she sits right now. fronts about 5/8 way down and rears all the way down with pads and adjusters.



notice how on this one, rear arch sits a bit higher than passenger side.



this side sits lower, and this is on any pavement no matter how level it is.

ill get some better pics up, and hopefully this settles nicely!

as for ride, pretty nice ride on the highway., just need some better tires and freshen up some steering components!!

happy with these so far!!
