dpm were doing a deal on the joms for £150 or there abouts cant go wrong for that money and you get a 2 year warranty with the joms   oh and i also have joms with no probs

i can get both kits for £155 each but im unsure which to go for

[mcgee9t2]

ide go for fk just for the fact its more of a "brand" than jom

see after fitting my fk's and using 5mm spacers all round i'm getting rubbing on the n/s rear tire just on the edge,is the rear axle offset slightly? and if yes by how much,and i'm not sure about joms but the fk's are solid not much give in them

will i need spacers with 19" rims?

i'm on 19's with joms, 5mm spacers front et 35 8.5j with 215/35 rubber. Its close.
Regarding failure rate, DPM, Awesome and Venom all said FK failed more than JOM. Jom had a 2 year warranty though dpm whereas Fk was only 1. FK is a better ride than jom but warranty and reliability so trusted the dealers.

+1 2 year warranty through dpm on the jom's is a good deal and dpm are pretty good if they brake dpm will replace them
