JOM Coilovers

+1 ^^ upside down adjuster. I did the same thing with mine the first time.

Any word on getting a kit together for E34's?

Word indeed. Im going to bring them to market in mid September. $500 shipped for the first sets. I will have the first set and get it installed with detailed pictures and the service everyone has grown to expect. Two different actually for the different 5 series models.

My JOM's go pretty low up front

OP, how are those ebay camber plates working out?

[smyleboyd]

im positive that they are not upsidedown but not positive if they are on properly. the car is getting painted so i cant mess with it or take pictures untill i get it back next week. ill update this when i get it back

i installed these yesterday and the front and back are all the way down. the back looks alot lower but the front doesnt. it looks like it did stock. i have the adjusters on properly what could of happened?

You 100% sure of this? Wait a couple days for it to settle if so.

Did your sping look compressed like this when installing?

If so, then you didnt it wrong.

Once I cut off the perch, where should I put these O rings? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but if it makes my life easier I'm all for it.

In case you haven't figured it out, they go under the adjuster sleeve that slips over the strut housing. This stops the whole assembly from spinning when you go to adjust it. My PO didn't do that and now I have to hold the adjuster in place with a channel lock while I adjust it.

^ +1 I have tried both ways and the wd40 is the way to go.

I would advise against the lithium grease, all its going to do is attract dirst, dust, sand and everything else. If you want to make adjustments in the future make sure you spray some brake cleaner on the threads and/or compressed air, maybe some wd40 but dont use grease.

Cut off perch
Make sure to get rid of any surface rust, etch prime and spray bomb

I think it's a good idea to splurge on some lithium white grease to make adjustments easy in the future

For anyone doing anything spring/shock/top hat/spring mount related, you should know that you don't need to remove the strut from the car to change springs/inserts/top hats/mounts etc. just unbolt the swaybar endlink to let the suspension droop all the way and unbolt everything at the top. Insert goes out the top of the strut tower, and everything else can come right off the side.

Most of you know this, but for those who don't, it will save you some serious time + wear and tear on your balljoint boots.

I think you have the threaded adjuster upside down. You spring shouldn't be nearly that compressed. Take it apart, cut off the factory spring perch, put some rubber o-rings on (trust me, you'll love this when you go to adjust it), and slide the adjuster with the open end down over the strut tube. If you already did all this then idk what's up.

Once I cut off the perch, where should I put these O rings? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but if it makes my life easier I'm all for it.

I definitely did this backwards... I'm pulling it back into my shop and flipping it. I should be an expert at this by now (chuckle). Thanks for the replies.
