Thanks in advance

I have heard only good things about the hottuning ones. Good price and quality apparently. :cool:
-
yes there fine
-
Hi,
To be honest we rate our kits slightly above the quality of the Hottuning units. Ours are a european made unit as opposed to a far east based product. Our warranty is held in house, so should the worse occur we are equiped enough to deal with the problem. You will note the alloy adjusters on our units are silver as oppsoed to anodised blue.
We are trying to delvier a quality product and great service at an affordable price. We are about to unveil a new program of suspension that is far superior to the current UK market place. News will follow soon.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to approach use with your questions. We are more than happy to help where we can.
-
the colour isnt going to make them better though is it? jamex/venom motorsports and hottuning are exactly the same .
-
and you get 2 years warranty with them too .
-
Sorry meant to suggest that the colour helps differentiate the products. Thats why we have silver adjusters. Our warranty is a UK held 2 year policy.
-
I maybe interested in these by janspeed.... i am waiting for some feedback from someone who has a set before deciding... oh and the warrantly sounds better as they are a uk company unlike hottuning..
I remember my exhaust from germany not fitting and they said i could return it at my own cost!!
-
aha okay . :smiley:
-
We have a failry decent amount of customers from this site already who have purchased our kits. We are more than happy to recieve feedback on a product that we have done much research into the quality of and attempted to souce the goods at a sensible price. We are aware our product could attract a higher price purley on our name but we dont feel that is what the market is asking for at this time.
-
how much do you charge for a set off them then .?
-
Our units currently sell for £219.99 for a full kit including 2 spanners and a full maintenance and fitment guide along with some extras from the Janspeed marketing dept :wink:
Postage is £12.50
-
not a bad price and you wont need to wait for a week,i guess :wink:
-
We are currently holding stock of just over 200 complete kits. With a few more fitments on route this coming week.

shamless promotion Janspeed hey?? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
TBH the janspeed ones look ok although no better than the hottuning ones which are and can be had a hell of alot cheeper??
i got the jamex on mine and payed alot more for them, and they arre the same as the bloody hotuning ones hahah !!! :angry:
the janspeed ones look the same quality as the hottuning / jamex etc etc
Bring the price down to beat people buying the hottuning ones as they are tried and tested now..
-
I emailed the hottuning guy, and he said he would take £180 for a set, and that wasnt haggling.
So you need to pull out a deal :wink:

We seem to be on the same boat, stuffed exhausts, but care more about the suspension!
-
those guys at hotuning are doing it big time...they must be moving big amounts to do the prices they do, i know a lad who got his for 160, plus 20 delivery from europe with a 2 year warrenty...so thats 180 all in... now that is a steal if you ask me... i payed just shy of 300 for my jamex kit and im pissed off :grin:

its an old pic buts thats down by 40mm and it needs another 20mm back and 40mm front
-
You can buy the Hottuning coilovers from a place called Rennsport in stoke, thats where i got mine form.
There £195 or £215 posted.. Come with warrenty and all that shizzle and UK based, bout 25 cheaper than janspeed and no different.. TRUST me!

There are just a few points we would raise. The Hottunig units you mention we know of very well. You could say our experience of them is first hand. Bart is the guy who owns HT, very nice guy indeed. His prices are cheaper than the Janspeed price and I really would not have any thing publicly bad to say about another company’s product. But as repeated before ours are not the same units, I can not emphasise that enough Rich.
We believe our product will stand the test of time and that is again why we stand by our price structure. Our manufacturing partner who produces all of our range is not a wholesaler; they are spending their days developing suspension and like us have a good name to uphold, hence our confidence in our goods. I think we could debate this topic for days, however it’s a worth while point to say the service offered when purchasing such items is also a factor to consider.
If a member of your website would like to contact us privately we would be happy to discuss bulk buys. We are already doing so with the MK5 sector of this site both with exhausts and suspension.

I'm up for buying a set with the bulk buy action!
Lets get it sorted!!!!
Who else is interested?

Im interested, Janspeed, bulk buy? How much could you offer them for per unit posted if we bought say 10 or 20 at the same time??
:cool:
-
We could supply the units for £200 all inclusive if 15 or more units were purchased.
We could also offer if purchased at the same time the following
MKIII 2.0i GTi 8V DECAT for £90.00
MKIII 2.0i GTi 8V S/S System for £240.00
MKIII 2.0i GTi 8V S/S Back Box for £150.00
Tail pipe on the above is Twin 3" Round
Orders can be placed by calling 01722 321833

Janspeed, as you're taking an active role in this topic, maybe I'll ask this question here too-
I have a similar amount to spend on suspension soon.
Will these kits offer improvements over standard GTi handling? More or less so to a similarly priced shock and spring set up?
I really want a set of coilovers but can't stretch to the higher end ones :sad:
Not too bothered about ride comfort cos I'm 'ard :lipsrsealed:
This is for a mk2 GTi though.
Although I imagine the same applies to the mk3 too :smiley:
Can you give me the lowdown please mate?
-
Hot tuning are doing a group buy on the mk2 owners club at the minute for £150 posted. They have good feedback so far and have sold shed loads of them and I've not heard anything about the Janspeed ones don't they make rucksacks :laugh:
-

i would hope so, i have spun mine on standard suspension!
-
Hi Guys, Well £150 is a good price for HT's units. We tend to run a policy on these things though of standing by our price for quality and service. Of course our offer still stands and in reply to an earlier question we supply a kit for the MKII and MKIII at the same cost. Its not good for our industry to keep undercutting each other. Let us know if we can help any further.
Thanks for the interest.
-
Janspeed mate, do you reckon these offer better handling than the original mk2/mk3 8v set up?
And will it be as good as a spring and shock set up of a similar price?
Cheers :smiley:
-
i can say mine with its Jamex set up handles like its on rails, superb, i have koni set up on my jap car and the handling is close betwen both cars
im sure Janspeed dude is pissed off about HT doing their deals, im sure whichever kit you go for u will be very happy
janspeed, is the company under new management or something, i though it went under a few years ago?? or am i totally off the mark, sorry to be nosey btw
-
all i know is what ever kit you go for it now seems coilovers have to be done !!!
cant wait to get mine !!!
-
The benifit of a coilover really is the tailored height aspect. Given that they were developed around track based vehicles it gives a firm controlled ride. Shock and springs will tighten a cars handling but they are designed around a more consumer every day user. Were about to launch a High Performance range of shock and spring combinations for the complete VW range. Were confident in our development of these kits that they will offer a very good level of performance comparable to the firm ride of coilovers.
Were not frustrated by HT's units at all. I have as i said very good experience of the units and they do 'just what they say on the tin'. We know the birth of our units came from a different thought process and i think a lot of our users are already realising that.
We are not aware of any new management?!? Unless they have not told us yet :undecided: :smug:
-
I really dont know what ones to buy, but if this group buy came together, i would probably get the janspeed ones. If they are £200 posted, as thats what i can get the HT ones for now.
-
I'm really impressed Janspeed, if I decide to go down the coilover route, I'll be choosing these over the HT ones :smiley:
I don't mind about a harsh ride, I'm still young!
Any passengers complain...they can get out and walk :smiley:
-
aslong as i get round the corner, in the best line without crashin or skiddin, i dont care about ride!
-
also janspeed can fit them right :) !!!
was thinking they are uk based as well ?
-
Given that we have these units in stock now. It would be rude not to allow purchases to proceed, after all we are very keen to get these kits out in the public domain. If people can leave it until Friday we can take and despatch orders from then onwards.
We would ask anyone wishing to purchase these kits to PM this account and we will issue a code which can verify the people buying.
-
hi janspeed
i remember reading it a good few years ago (i think)
Janspeed exhausts used to be very popular but not so these days??
iv never personally owned a janspeed, always had mongoose as they made them up to my spec, something that janspeed wouldnt when i asked them to in 1995 for my tuned swift GTI, (the janspeed standard offering was pathetic to say the least, in terms of looks that is)
so you are now putting your efforts into suspension??
good on you i say, i really did think you had gone the way of the dodo
-
have to say what company would take there time to chat to us at almost 12am !!! at night nice one janspeed

Kells
A vast amount of our systems are manufactured for other companies. Some very well known ones at that! The whole business model has changed some what over the last few years and were happy to hear from our consumers. We offer many custom fitments and are now spanning into suspension. Something were far from new to, its just about time we brought it to the retail market.
Well were working hard to bring ourselves to our custom base. Its a good sign of the times. On that note! Speak Soon Guys!
-
Good to hear janspeed... hope things work out for you..
now how much would you charge me to make up the rest of the system from a magnex backbox up to my cat :laugh:
