Coil over settling??

I'd be much less concerned with the ride height and much more concerned with repairing that rust and finding paint for my car.

already off and on craigs. i jsut picked up a new ride so i need $ for that, so the coils are on craigs

take the springs over to a machine shop with a press and get them to compress them a couple times. lol. it'll break them in reeeal quick.

Its hard to tell with only one corner in. Could it be bound up? I've seen installs that look high off the jack but a drive around the block to relax it results in a significant drop.

I say put them on and drive it for a day. If you still don't like them then box them up and put it on ebay if the seller won't take them back.

I found this pic today of a vert on the JOM's... seems pretty low

[hi its me alec]

Expect the springs to settle a decent amount if they're brand new.. not a lot, but I think 0.5 - 0.75" is average

Regardless.... you should have done research and looked for pics of the product fitted before pulling the $500 trigger...

Id say you're the silly bastard

i looked a round and asked a few people, but never googled it. which i should have

[Oxer]

they were brand new in box. never installed

I told you that I heard VW kids were happy with the lows offered from JOM, and hadnt heard anything about BMW applications except for the claims of getting low. theres been a lot of talk about the new JOM e30 application, but nobody had posted up any pics or reviews of them yet. thats why I was curious to hear how you like them. one of the downside of being the first to try something out. you sometimes dont get the desired results.

yes yes you silly bastard. i guess ill take one for the team....BUT i am not happy. you fuckers

[Withers]

Plus e30s have such an absurdly high stock height that you really need a lot of work to get them truly slammed. Cut front struts are pretty much a given, and the rear doesn't give you many options. Here's to hoping we'll get Zero Clearance coils sometime in the future

Edit: If we do get ZC coils and I'm able to save up enough for them, I'll have my GC coils for sale.

Dave Schonrock said he heard JOM's are good, and wanted to see my results and 2 other people from here. EBAY has these for 489 shipped here. i figured thats all i needed to know

It seems for the front, you mount the perches where you want(exactly like a coilover conversion kit that I was talking about earlier), so that should get you pretty low. Rears need new springs or cut springs.

we'll see dude. i guess i just suck it up and install the rest

First link, second post.

lol Alright sorry I'm done rubbing salt on your wound. You should've done a tiny bit of research first but it is still not cool that he said it would slam your car, especially saying it would make it undriveable. Good luck getting your money back. We'll get this ish low if you do, don't worry.

edit: I hear the fronts do actually go low if you want them to.

this actually relaxed me a little bit, but we will see. thank you Ollie


EDIT: cept this "Showing me how low a VW kit goes doesn't mean much. You'll never get that low with an E30 unless you shorten the strut housings. The JOM website only specs 20-60mm of lowering... for you imperial guys thats like 2.4" max lowering. If that's the case, don't buy these if you are hoping to slam your car because 2.4" won't even tuck the tires (see my sig, my car is lowered around 3")"

thats all the way lowered in the front
