Title: Jamex suspension owners, some advice please...
Post by: ScottG on 05 February 2008, 23:32
Hi, i am in desperate need of replacing the rear suspension on my car so i am thinking of do the whole lot at once.

I dont really want a real hard ride so i was wondering what the Jamex kit is like, i have seen it on Fleabay for about £180 which  i thought was reasonable!

Any thoughts?

Scott.

mine are the coilover version of Jamex's kit, very good indeed, cost me around 300, i think daz from on here got the non coilovers for 130 ish off ebay, im guessing those are the ones your looking at

if i was u id get the hottuning coilovers for around 180, they are the same as the jamex coilovers but 100 notes cheeper :wink:

So what is the ride like on the coilovers? Ive only had set before but they were Tein Superstreet's on my Skyline, they had 3 settings... harsh, harsher and harshest! lol

Really dont want to be spending anywhere near what the Tein's were!

Hottuning jobbies sound like a good idea, as long as the ride is nice!

my jamex which are the expensive version of the hottuning ones are great, i have a koni set up on my other car and tbh im really pleased with the ride on these jamex,on my koni set up you can adjust the hardness aswell as height, the jamex and hottuning u can only change the height but the ride is spot on, not too hard but hard enough, its perfect for me anyhow, in my signature below, i have the height set at around half way down, so as you can see its pretty low but it can go twice as low as this, although seen as its my daily driver i have to have a comprimise, as i said before, the way its set up right now the ride is good, im more than happy with it

all in all, they are good all round, deffo recomend them, especially for the price you cant go wrong at all

build quality is good too

go buy them,  :cool:
