Installed : JOM Coilovers

Major thanks to Kershaw for wrenching. DaymamAhhhhhhhahhh for the workplace. ThereIsNoYun for the fresh perspective and the enlightenment. Not pictured is his handy work Installing my antenna gasket correctly, fully.

Rides very well. Just like OEM should be. There is so much drop left too. No adjuster out back. 12 threads from the bottom on the front adjusters. Just what I was hoping for.

Dirty car. Phone pictures.

Awesome glad to see you finally got it low! Your car is one of the only early model verts I really like. So clean.

[Kershaw]

ouch.

nice man, it looks great.

still waiting for epic battle.

[shiboujin]

did you cut off the spring perch or just sent the front adjuster in? I'm not a fan of these coils but a set fall in my lap. Gonna put them no my spare E30

[CabrioPunk]

No cutting.

Why dont you like them? From experience or you read somewhere? They ride beautifully. Went for a cruise just last night just because.

[shiboujin]

I see it as a method to slam your car. For $400, it'll do that well. But I generally go "coilover" for performance. This has none of it. Technically, IIRC the springs are imbalanced for E30s.

^But wait, he said they rode beautifully! Haha.

[shiboujin]

daily yea. Try doing more than that.

[CabrioPunk]

If I wanted a race car, I wouldn't have gone vert. Go spend all your money on parts internet cool guy.

Yes, a method to drop my car. Happens it rides very nicely as well.

Technically, I don't need to daily. I have three other cars. This is a fair weather, joy ride car.

To keep the thread on topic....For anyone else, not too good for a budget suspension, these work well. I think there are others here that daily them happily. If I were to say they are HR Springs and Konis guys would say oh, wow, hella cool. Maybe they are, can you tell?

[shiboujin]

I didn't say they didn't work well for what you wanted. I just said I didn't like them, you asked why, and I answered.

If you want to drop your car on the cheap, this def works great. That's why I have my set and don't plan on selling it.

Awesome. It looks great! I will be installing these sometime in the near future.

[CabrioPunk]

For installing, found out it is easier to cut the old ones out than dealing with a shitty AutoZone spring compressor. Everything else should just slip in. Oh hindsight....

[acolella76]

hindsight is 20/20 ;)


I would have cut off the stock perch, too. Installed these on a friends car and adjusting was a bitch with the stock perch still on
