JOM Coilovers.

I'll throw in my $0.02

email i just recieved from the JOM contact in London

Hi, spring rates quoted from the JOM catalogue are 890kg and 1030kg Attached is a big picture. Please remember to state which are saloon and which if any are touring or cabriolet versions when ordering. Thanks. Les

This is a sign they don't know what they are doing. The front is way too stiff and the rear is too soft. HR race springs are 560kg/1,000kg. So this kit nearly doubles the front spring rate but keeps the regular HR race rear rates? The problem is that most coilover manufacturer companies don't take into account that we have semi-trailing arms. Effective spring rates are halved (roughly).

Gripe #2 is that those springs are proprietary. I'm sure you can manage to shoe horn other springs in there if you wanted to, but you shouldn't have to mod it to fit generic springs. I contacted D2 a long time ago about their "coilovers" and they only sold 2 sets of spring rates. What if I wanted something else?

I have no idea about the dampers, I don't even want to get into that.

I guess if you just want ride height changes, this works.

still waiting on front adjuster to come in or i would have had them on already

I have blown shocks and cut springs all the way around (previous owners). So tempted to buy this.


Also waiting for review!!!

Thanks!

If it's too good to be true....well yeah. AP Tuning suspension kits were also TUV approved if I'm not mistaken yet the shocks on TJ's car blew right away or were blown out of the box. I'd be weary of these shocks. From the design of the spring, it seems you'd have to cut bottom spring perch on the strut if you want to dump it due to the stack height of the stock strut mounts but this will be dictated by how much shorter these shocks are. At $380 shipped, it's hard to go wrong though. Even if the shocks last a year, you could always upgrade. Can't wait to see the review.

I doubt this will ride and handle as poor as bouncing around on blown stock shocks that are near bottomed out.

I dont expect these to be great, but it bugs me when people start telling others how things will handle by looking at a picture and a pricetag.

Didn't you know if it isnt R3V approved and is dirt cheap or from ebay (GASP:eeek:) it CANNOT and I repeat CANNOT go on our extremely expensive, uber rare cars!!! This man is mad!! :loco:

In all truth Stephen you're right. We need a review ASAP. Common r3v give us something to go on!

True that! People cannot judge a book by its cover.

will handle about the same as these.

and by spending your money on a name brand quality part you can upgrade later and have a killer suspension setup
