I didn't have the full kit, but if memory serves I had Jamex springs on my last 8v. The ride was on the harsher side of firm, but it wasn't bone shaking.

Sorry that's probably not much use :laugh:

I have jamex on mine, and TBH, steer clear. The ride is quite harsh and I think this is why I now have a rattly rear silencer. The baffles have shaken themselves to bits. That is why I bought Dannyp's kit off him. Gas shocks and spring kit. Hopefully the ride will be a little less harsh. The Jamex rear suspension is height adjustable, but the front is not.

Sorry. Was at the pool with my kids when you posted this. (An open air pool in the middle of the countryside in 34 degrees of sunshine with hardly anyone else around. Life sucks sometimes. :tongue:)

Hmm. I did have my springs with Turbo Gas shocks, which is probably why they weren't as harsh as you're describing.
