You can mate but to be honest, jamex are purely a budget brand and the ride quality reflects that

Yer personally i have never used inserts only full coilovers but have put some on my mates car and it kinda figures itself out if that makes sense, just look at what you have and swap the bits of the old setup for whats missing

I think it would be best to stick with the big boys, personally at the min im running spax coilovers all round and cant fault them. Its one of those things where you get what you pay for
