I have them and find them very bouncy. sh!t dampers! But they are good for what I want. A slammed car.

If I want to drive fast on B roads. I would throw them in the bin and put the standard shocks and springs on!

Looks = perfect

Performance = shockly bad!

i was told my coilovers are FK but i dont think they are. anyways like someone already said its a bouncy ride for sure. its funny watching people trying to drink in my car... mainly because if they spill it in my baby they will be walking home lol.

I used the JOM Redline's on my old Octavia vRS and one observation was they were quite harsh on normal roads/normal driving but seemed quite soft compared to a decent lowering kit on the twisties and on track. I gather the Blueline range are below the Redline so you can read into this as you like.

Overall though, the build quality and fit seemed reasonably good
