    JOM vs GC coilover kit

    I have a set of H&R race and Bilstien shocks setup , Felt kinda soft and was looking to get a better "LOW". So i was reading on how members like the JOM setup. "Best Bang For Buck"...complete. So I purchased it with eyes closed!! Now I see that GC has a coilover kit that i could use with my Bilstiens. Should I kick mysef???? Would like to get your feedback so I can know what to do before I install and open the package.

    Sell the jom shock inserts and use your bilstein sports instead.

    Keep your stock gland-nut in safe keeping if you decide to go back to the GC kit in the future, you'll need it. JOM comes with it's own gland nut iirc.

      So....would it be wise to sell the JOM kit and get the GC coils to be Bilstine specific? Or shoule i modify the JOM? Are the LOM springs compatible withe the GC?

        Sell the JOM kit. Call GC get some custom valved KONIs and roll that way. The will work better than the bilstiens.

            The JOM gland nuts won't work with bilsteins since the bilstein shaft is bigger then the opening on the JOM. You could always get that GE garbage everyone is talking about.

              Sell the JOMs. Cut the bumpstop in your Bilstein in half and get ground controls.

                  OP, sell JOM, disregard GC. Buy the GE kit.

                  problem solved.

                      No such thing as GE coilovers. Einstein actually sells a coilover kit that is much cheaper than a GC kit.
                      And from pictures I have never seen an e30 sit so well on bottle tops. You should check out his kit. Einstein I hope you chime in and show us all for those who haven't heard of your kit.
                      Also may I add, OP If you think your h&r and billies setup is too soft then don't count on the JOM kit to solve your problem. I've heard they're set up to a soft setting.

                        Huh? Einstein's kit is the GE coilovers..
                        And you're not going to find a better deal than that.
