There a million threads on this do a search. However to summerise they are cheap you get what you pay for, some people have no problems and like them others have had problems and don't.

I run these and enjoy a reasonably comfy ride for one slammed as much as it is. No probs whatsoever with mine.

Im running them and although they can be a little harsh, i've had no problems with them. :wink:

well soon as i can ill be getting these wheels plus hopefully will have a full vento front end as well by end of month :smiley:. mods are starting but very slow and car has just started running like a bag of sh!t :sad: so will have to look in to that as well ha.
cheers everyone. :smiley:
-
I used these on my mk2 and my old 8v mk3, a bit harsh if you go low low but no problems...
-
I have them and find them very bouncy. sh!t dampers! But they are good for what I want. A slammed car.
If I want to drive fast on B roads. I would throw them in the bin and put the standard shocks and springs on!
Looks = perfect
Performance = shockly bad!

i was told my coilovers are FK but i dont think they are. anyways like someone already said its a bouncy ride for sure. its funny watching people trying to drink in my car... mainly because if they spill it in my baby they will be walking home lol.
-

-

got them on my anni they good for value.

I used the JOM Redline's on my old Octavia vRS and one observation was they were quite harsh on normal roads/normal driving but seemed quite soft compared to a decent lowering kit on the twisties and on track. I gather the Blueline range are below the Redline so you can read into this as you like.
Overall though, the build quality and fit seemed reasonably good
-
Wheel width is not the deciding factor!
Tyre width and profile is the governing factor.
-
I have these on the back of the VR6, they seem ok. A bit noisey but don't feel too different to the APs i have up front. S far the best suspension as been the SPAX spring and shock kit i had though :cool:
-
I got these on my mk3, they were on when i bought it...I hate the ride,bouncy and harsh,dampning is terrible, but they are dropped pretty low. I'm going to try raising them up which i think gives 30mm lowering compared to oem.
If i'm still not happy im going back to oem and these will be off in the bin.
Basicly if you're after performance coilovers, make sure you dont buy these.
-
i'v brought some second hand FK things and well its like being on a bouncy castle at time lol. think ill get some of these next.
