    BUT...To get the front lowlow you cut off the top of the adjuster so that it is a hollow tube that slides over the strut tube and rests on the original spring perch. this method will get the front very low.

    thanks for the quick reply. Thats what I was thinking as it was the only other viable option here.

    all is well then!!

      i have been running my JOM's like this for quite a few months and i love it(that is, im all the way down on the adjuster). still pretty stiff.

      only thing i need is shorter rear springs to get my early arches down

        same here with the rear springs. I cut mine today and now the car is level. Im not really a huge fan of cutting springs because its not the right way to do things but all in all it worked.

        Im going to replace my rear springs with something more fitting when funds permit but for now its good for daily driving

          i cut up my old stock springs to have it sit where i wanted. holy crap did it bounce. i was driving down a flat street and it felt like i was going over pot holes! i could not take it for even one day, drove back home and picked up the JOM ones and changed them out at school.

          i think a 4-4.5 in spring will compliment it well. or so i have been told- still waiting on pics and info

              ^post your review in the "product reviews" section. There is already a thread there for the JOMs.
              I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

                      JOMs are for the lows. Why the fuck would you want to get positive camber?

                          Bout to order some different rear springs because its too soft. most people just tell you to trash the JOM and go GC or GE engineering.
