Had mine fitted this week and im more than happy with them, not wound all the way down though, but i had all new axle bushes and top mounts as well plus my rear standard shocks were knackered so anything would have been an improvement tbh. Only problem is ive got a squeeky rear shock which im hoping will go after theyve broken in, but can't complain for what i paid for them.

The ride over springs is much better, so much less bounce.
A mate has JOM Bluelines fitted to his Passat and he recons when wound down they are pretty unforgiving but if your looking to clear speed bumps you not getting anywhere near the lowest setting.

I have to say bank balance allowing I will be fitting JOM's soon

Keep an eye on Ebay as the trade sellers sometimes put them up for auction for £100 so you can pick up some deals.  Exactly the same product.  :smiley:

I had them on a Mk4, and the ride was ok really.

Mk3 needed new shocks for the MOT so bought some Bluelines and fitted them yesterday, not too bad at all really, i paid £155 delivered for them.
