Don't think they are a lot better than the Hottuning ones to be honest.

To be honest, your better off saving and going for something better.

just exploring other routes aswell, as the coilovers are very bumpy..

what about a shock and spring setup like below, are they going to offer a better ride then the coilys (the ability to adjust the height i am not bothered with.)

Jamex is very hard plus not that good quality to be honest.

A mate of mine has a set of these fitted to his VR6 and compared to the Ritter coil-overs on my 16v they are as hard as the hobs of hell. I've just fitted a set of 40mm lowering springs (G-MAX) on my wifes VR6 with a new set of Bilstein gas shocks and the ride is MUCH better than the coil-overs.
