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

Having both TAs and JOMs in my cars, I can say my Weitecs are far better than both.

Sorry i have had Joms and Weitiec on the same car and You are completly wrong it is well known with cheap coils you get bad ride comfort its a sacrifice for price!!! the Weitecs are very good ride comfort even slammed is a lot better than Joms!!

at the end of the day nothing wrong with Joms but spending more will get you a more comfortable ride!

The JOM shock kits leave a lot to be desired  :lipsrsealed:

more expensive kits are gonna be better no doubt you only get what you pay for and for what they are they aint as bad as some ppl make out if you want your car lower than just using springs but are on a tight budget then they are great if you get a million pound bonus every year and want summat a bit more special then theres plenty to choose from there are probably thousands of ppl now using the jom and fk kits with a mere handfull if that who have had problems  :smiley:


 i drive a golf thats why im skint!!!!

i have joms too, the price is sweet, and so is the ride, at the end of the day, if you lower your car, its going to be stiffer than standard shocks and springs anyway. i cant complain about the joms yet!

Of course they will be stiffer but xtetx if you had a set of blisteins on i dont think you would be unhappy and the ride comfort would be improved But as you say pound for pound the joms are good value
