Jamex Coilovers?
« on: 22 September 2010, 21:56 »
Hey guys, right atm i have Jamex springs and to be honest they feel a little bouncy way as i know some springs give u that? anyway.. I am now wanting to get coilovers as i think they will give me better handling and a more safe and secure type of suspension, Jamex are selling a coilover kit on Ebay for £180. Now are these really worth buying or would i be buying crap? I dont want to spend over 300 on suspension, considering i have a 1.4 so im not exactly thrashing it around like a 1.8T would move like.

Cheers for any answers guys.

Craig.

Hmmmm... right well lets hope he see's this post and tells me his honest opinion :P haha. I had thought of changing cars! I was in the showroom looking and talking about getting a mk5 gt sport but after a real big think i thought why so soon? I love my mk4 and its not let me down either! Still with 71000 milleage and full VWSH i shouldnt really be changing so soon. So now ive done a U turn and now im gona really enjoy it! So coilovers next then im gonna get a proper exhaust system to increase sound and that. Wont get much performance side of things but its not all about performance lol hahaha.
