They'll be the same as JOM, FK, Hottuning and any all the other cheap coilovers. The ride will be ok at first, it will get gradually worse until it is no longer bearable.

You get what you pay for.

I had them on a Mk4, ride was ok and they lasted the time i had the car without any issues, although that was only about 8-9months. In the Mk4 versions though, you may need to tighten the 'cap'(?) at the top of the shock body on the fronts, these can be loose from the factory. I've read a grider disc tool thing with two prongs can be used.

If there under 200 quid mate they will all be about the same.... Most popular name for cheap coils is JOM it's like ronseal does what it says on the tin... Cheap lows!!!! Some like the. And they run fine some have nothing but nightmares within a short time ... Suspension in most cases is a case of you get what you pay for mate I have done budget, midrange and the dearer stuff and the difference is epic! But as said if all u want is cheap lows the fk's or joms will be fine...

Try the search bar with coilovers heaps of threads have a read of people's experiences and see if its right for ya
