Iv run JOMs for a while they nothing special lasts about 18months but thats driving on brecon beacons everyday  :grin:
They have 2 years warranty on most budget coil overs these days anyways and they take about 2 hours max to change all 4.

I find them comfy to be fair, I really dont moan when they blow either as they cheap and cheerful and do what it says on the tin haha
I would recomend them to anyone. 2 years warranty is really good too.

Got joms aswell. Very pleased with them, would much rather pay £170ish for coilies then the rest towards other mods then spend £3-400 pound on a "decent" make of coilies.

Would also recommend them  :smiley:

Found the JOMs on my first Golf very crashy. My Anniversary came with TA sh!tbrix but I quickly replaced them with Weitec Hicon GT's. Worth the extra over budget brands if you ask me.

Weitec, Eibach and AP are no better than Raceland, TA technix, Jom.
you just pay for the name.

i agree and with joms being only £150 and 2 year warranty if they brake you aint lost a big lump of cash and they will get fixed or replaced happy days  :smiley:
