    Coilovers

    Ok, i have coilovers on my car right now but the springs are pretty much gone or soon will be... I have bilstien sports and looking for coilover springs..
    Idk what the rates are on these, i dont even know how much the car is lowered because this is how i got the car... Maybe you guys can figure out and tell me what kinda spring i should get... Im looking for smooth ride, somewhat stiff springs

          quick fix, buy another JOM kit.

          Proper fix

          Ground control sells springs in any rate you could want. Personally I'd just buy a new kit an scrap that JOM junk.

          Alternative options would be Megan, BC, Katuned etc.

            Jom is junk.. I would of never put it on my car if i was the PO.... Apparently jom coils can drop around 3in. Im guessing thats what i have at the moment.... I just checked GC and its saying around 2.2in drop thats a big difference.. I like the hight of the car as is, which one would be close to jom height but better?

              JOM's arent coilovers. they come from factory gone and shot. they are crap springs and perches.

              also, what type of bilstein shocks do you have? if they are the HDs they will be sitting on the bump stops all the time. if they are bilstein sports you are ok.

              HR race/IE3 springs are really nice but sit higher.
              if you want real coilovers you will want to contact Ground-Control and you can order the spring rates you need. if you are on the poor side, BC is another good option and you can use your shocks if they are the billy sports.

                Cut stock coils are always a good option too.

                    You cant get different length of springs. standard kits have 5" you can get 4" but your rates will be higher and harsh. Like said above, you need to find out what shocks you have....you might need to spend more money then you think getting a car to ride properly without destroying important parts.

                      Look on their site or call Mark at GC. I think they start at $90 a pair

                      Correction, they're on sale!

                        plan to spend $2k
                        just inserts are a lot less ($429.00), but i didnt like the way they paired with my billy sports.

                            they are real coilovers. that means the car can sit +-3 inches. mine is 1" up from lowest
