Any one heard of these coilovers?

[8380 Labs]

that's not long enough to really see how well they'll hold up, in my opinion.

[mightywhitey]

I think Oct was the first one?

I sold 55 sets of these to members on here and not one complaint or one failure. But if getting approval is more important then getting low, do what you gotta do.

how long ago did those group buys start?

I have no experience with JOM's but I will say the cheap DDM I bought for my 318Ti seized up and were junk in no time. They got the car low and it did look great but that will not happen again.

That being said I have H&R coilovers on my M3 and think they are nice riding but the IE camber plates are crude. Rather have some OEM style rubber upper strut bearings.

My take on JOM, cheap way to go low but are in no way a true "sport" dampner. They are OK and will probably last 10K miles before they are blown. If all you care about is low then these are for you.

I'm kinda curious about these ones but a few hundred more, I'll probably get ground controls or TCklines.
They remind me of d2's but come with spindles. options also include: custom spring rates, SA dampers, camber/castor plates, linear or progressive springs, new rear shock mounts, & small profile or barrel springs. They ARE made in Taiwan tho. :(

if all you care about is looks, then ebay junk will serve you fine.

I just installed these coils on my vert, they were the vert specific springs and they felt very stiff. (at least 650 front 750 rear) the fronts came down pretty good tucking tire, however the rears not so much. I removed both the top and bottom spring mount things, and I'll most likely remove the adjuster itself if they don't settle pretty soon. The shocks felt like toys compaired to my blown bilsteins. I'll update you guys once I get some mileage on them. I destroyed both my tie rods trying to free them from my strut....

I was about to say there is two huge fucking threads on these coilovers, search. god damnit.

They're on eBay. Thats how.

lol
experience has lead me to believe this is a good, general rule.

It would be very interesting to know how good the JOM coils really are, they smell like junk, but hey, they could be a great deal for the price. I can't say for certain since I don't have first hand experience, I can only speculate.

Well they do LOOK like junk, but OP, I suggest you read through the JOM coilover group buy thread in the retail/classified section, there is a ton of people that chime in on their experiences.

Also, search before asking. You would have almost immediately found the thread I am talking about.

EDIT: Apparently there is a group buy section now. There is a second group buy on JOM coilovers in there. Maybe the first GB got moved in there, I don't know.

But seriously, look at them. They scream junk. No names, no stickers, no stamping? Most of all, no adjustability and no spring rates, and most of ALL, look at the price. ~400 for complete coilovers should throw up a red flag, when you know that a decent set of coilovers goes for $1500-2000.

See my previous post. I had KW V1's on my R56, they were great (~$1300 on sale). But the VMaxx coilovers for the R56 are only $600. I thought the same thing about them being junk because of the price, but was really impressed when I got a ride in my friends' cars with them. Granted, they are NOT KW's, by any stretch. But they are great coils for a DD. Just some food for thought.

"Last but not least my buddy had them on his MK3 and were TRASH. The ride was sloppy and bounced. So I can tell you first hand by being in that they are junk. They were replaced by B&G RS2 coils."


No insult taken.

I think he was referring to someone that had them on a E30. The ride would likely be quite a bit different. The folks that did the group buys seem to be happy with them.

I was curious about these, but I don't know if the drop is enough for me. I'm still trying to see if Stratmosphere can get me some VMaxx. Honestly, if you want cheap and low, VMaxx is the way to go. I was really impressed with the ones some of my friends had in the MINI community.
