The first set in your post look the best IMO. :cool:
-
See if you can get a set of the Jamex coilovers they tend to be better quality.

They aren't even that good.

Nothing wrong with Jom's.....had mine on since the New Year and they are fine. Nice ride considering mine was slammed on them :wink:

There is a lot wrong with them...they are dire.
But for £200 what can you expect?
They are cheap...and go low. There are no handling or ride qualities to speak of.

I have a decent ride on mine tbf. My old VR was lowered on decent coilies and felt like poo. I was thrown from the seat at every pothole. This car is loads better and potholes don't give me any unwelcome bangs or anything. I would recommend them for anyone on a budget.

same here mine felt fine, never had a problem
-
What are people comparing them to?
Decent Mk3 set-ups?
Or suspension on cars that actually handle?
-
I am comparing mine to the more expensive ones that were fitted to my old VR. They were harsh and hurt :grin: :grin: :grin: The Jom's are not the best in the world but mine are a decent ride and as said earlier don't give any knocks or bangs even when hitting pot holes. I have not had any problems with them and think they have offered me personally good value for money :smiley:

tbf if you're comparing them to the tired, leaky & wallowy under dampened sh!te that was fitted in Wolfsburg 15 years ago then i suppose they would be of some improvement.

oh dear look what iv started now. dam i love being back in the mk3 section :grin:
-
ha ha stainesy bet you have not missed it one bit :grin: :grin:

ha ha stainesy bet you have not missed it one bit :grin: :grin:
oh contraire my dear fellow :grin:
not sure if it was the car i missed or the arguments in here :grin:
-
I would never use them again tbh.
-
I have JOMs on the back and they are no worse then the APs i have at the front (Even though they are £100 each!)
Altough neither compare to the SPAX spring and shock setup i had with adjustable dampering, they were sweet!
To be fair suspension itself wont improve the way it handles my more between brands. You will need poly bushes and anti roll bars.
My friends VR6 had chopped springs on standard shocks (Now on coilovers!) but with the anti roll bar it could fly round corners!

bought the wifes Jamex kit of here for 70 squids and they're pukka...
-
My old car had cheap coilies, my new one has new sachs shocks and eibach springs. It might not be as low but my god does it handle now.
-
Had JOMs but they were too soft and bouncy - swapped them for a set of FK AK's
