Post by: hobbiniho on 22 August 2009, 11:26: me like a few other folk on this forum are running the jom kit, if your just wanting to lower your car 40mm and want uprated shocks aswell then this kit is perfect and it is quite cheap aswell, quality is good aswell, a lot of people have thuis kit and havent had any problems with it, the spare cash could go towards opther mods such as an uprated dog bone mount and a rear antiroll bar, which will make a huge difference to the handling of your car for not much effort :cool:
