Rubbish quality on JOM Coilovers - what now?

[Wayne]

Just fit a good quality spring and shock kit.

I ordered a Bilstein kit only to be told they couldnt get it, then tried another standard set up and was told after two weeks I had another three week wait to gave up a bit.

If you have some part numbers and some place I can order from please let me know so I can order them!!

thai-wronghorse - not a helpful comment is it?

Well if your on a budget then Boge Gas shocks and some quality springs will be fine.

Spoke to Venom and there are a few options - what are peoples thoughts on Spax or Koni?!

Koni is excellent

i have spax, not coilovers but springs and shocks, be careful with the spring cup sizes, i have to run low profile tyres to clear them.

I would get SPAX coilovers if they would go lower then 65mm!! i would suggest trying to get some coilovers that give adjustable damping too!

A little over budget at £770, but would be my suggestion: http://www.venommotorsport.com/manufacturer_product.php?manufacturer=FK&category=suspension&product=KonigsportCoilovers&make=VW&model=GolfMk3

Spax & Koni both have excellent reputations, although if your on a budget i'd imagine Spax would be a better bet

How much do the h and r cup kits come in at now? Think they're about 180?

budget coilovers = budget ride. I'd save up a little more and get weitec hicons.

Courier ordered to take the offending JOMs back tomorrow and I will go for the SPAX I think, they have two options and the one I am thinking of is:

Hopefully the GTI will then be nice and safe and good again after that!

Weitec Ultra GT kit is also worth considering:
