Coil over settling??

yeah at least just run your already cut springs in the rear. no need to destroy a second set of springs. i would install the fronts, then run your cut springs in the rear and see if you like it. you can always look for shorter springs in the back later.

exactly. but if i do that i have to keep the whole set. and lose 500 bucks

That would gain maybe 20mm... LOL

Needs another 3-4 inches.

exactly. so the factory cut coils are going back in.... then i guess ill sell the setup

pull out the pads and adjuster.
and by your sig, the car does not seem "slammed", lowerd yes, slammed no.

slammed in comparison to how it sits now.

oxer if i remove the springs, the axle will hit the chassis. and ride comfort will suffer immensely, and i got these to improve that.

i guess tonight ill just take out the stops and adjuster and see if that does anything. doubt it

what are the JOM fronts like? are the struts shorter than OEM?

any ideas on what i should do?? keep them anbd cut the springs? or get my money back

thats your decision...

I would pull them out all together and ride stops, but Im silly like that.

Not a whole lot of point in cutting those when you already have a set cut, and there really is fuck all adjustment in those anyway, dont know why you would even need the adjustment if cops dont care how low your car is...

yeah but they're separate. the shocks aren't what is preventing you from going low in the rear, it's the rate/size of the spring. i'm in the same situation, i want to go lower but i don't want to cut my springs, so i've got to either find smaller springs or figure something else out.

the fronts should work better. the handling should definitely be better at least.

well looks like im cutting them then. which is fucking dumb. i got these to NOT have to cut. and have control over height at anytime

well it came with shocks as well. but the fronts are def regular coilover style

well, the rear suspension on e30s are a little different than normal. it's basically just a spring, so with coilovers you just get a spring with an adjustable collar under it. so unless your new coilover springs are super short (which it obviously wouldn't be with that cheap of a coilover), it won't compare to your cut springs.

edit: damn you oxer

Technically that isnt a coilover as the shock is seperate from the spring. You bought a set of height adjustable springs.... Ones that are extremely whack.
