jom coilovers or spax adjustable kit

[davemk4]

right this is doing my head in trying to get a suspension kit ordered.

JOM kit obviously price a big issue here. im sure they quite a firm ride BUT im quite happy to lower the rear by say 45mm but front i will not lower my 35mm-40mm due to huge amounts of speed bumps and rubbish roads where i live.

now was looking at the spax 35mm suspension kit with adjustable damping 28 settings.

this would give a reasonable lowering and give adjustment of how hard the ride is. but over twice the price

finaally seen the JOM 35mm suspension kit for like £135.00

all come with 2 year warranty .


any opinions on these? are the JOMS ok on quality

i will point out im not tracking the car etc and dont want to shake the car to bits

I've always worked on the principle of.. you get what you pay for.

Like jim said you get what you pay..... for plenty of folk running jobs on here they do the job that's about it... Why not just get eibach lowering springs 35mm

[davemk4]

id prefer new shockers too though to freshen the whole kit up .

[damien010685]

As said Joms do the job mate for folk with a smaller budget

[davemk4]

so would we say the spax is a better quality kit i have no issue getting the spax ones at 330 delivered they have damping adjustment which atleast means i can stop it from been back braking  and i dont want things breaking and fallen apart because i went cheap on em

The Spax ride comfort will be a lot better than joms bud

The Spax ride comfort will be a lot better than joms bud

that will do.

35mm lowering all round and adjustable stiffness i think is the sensible choice been where i live and the amount of driving i do on these bad roads

Spax is a much better bet than JOMS.
