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.

Pics?

[nickflic3]

Not the greattest pix but this is what I have:

JOM shocks/struts next to Eibach pro springs
(the paint is really thin and scratches easily but otherwise the shocks/struts are in great condidtion.)










(my own box; did not ship this way)

Will get comparison pix when I swap them in over break as soon as next week.

Check out the group buy thread. Folks are starting to post pics and their thoughts on the item.

[trackjunkie21]

Any way to get just the springs and adjusters themselves without the shocks?

i had jom coilovers on my vw and i liked them. i didn't get them from ebay though, i got them from preformance cafe. either way they were stiff and would go way lower than i needed. i know that probably doesn't help since i dont have a bmw car review, but i was pleased with the companies product so maybe that helps.

Dude just go GC. We all know that they are great but you got to spend money to play. Just save up a little more and get way better ones.:D

1. Yeah, no kidding these $300 junk coilovers aren't a fully-customizable track setup...some people do just want to lower their car for looks.

2. With that said, they don't even seem to do that well. The good news is apparently when it comes to suspensions, the current e30 crowd's cheapness knows no bounds.

Still no concrete reviews?

what more do you need?
