Title: JOMs or FKs
Post by: Granta Gti on 01 February 2013, 07:27

My standard front shocks are starting to knock slight so there is only one route to go down and that's coilies  :smiley: don't wanna go too low as I have the standard ARB on and want to maintain a comfy ride but the height of standard suspension make you look like you are driving a range rover!
Going the cheap route of either JOMS or FK. can anyone recommend one over the other and and precautions I take before fitting as I have read about people putting loctite on them somewhere.

Change the top mounts and bearings and if all your wanting is cheap lows and not bothered about comfort the joms will do the job fine the fks are better but as said many run joms and they do what they say on the tin

I'm on prosport coilovers. Made in the same factory as FK and JOM but with a different label. The ride quality on the prosport is pretty good to be fair.
