coilovers?

[scan1988]

Anybody have any experience with jom bluelines or fk streetline coilovers? Just looking for a cheap way to get the car lowered without breaking the bank! Which would be better?

Funny as i'm looking at the jom coilovers too for my fr tdi... i have used them on a mk4 golf anniversary and they were good

On the Leon 1P platform I'd personally go for the JOM kit, it offers a better ride quality and also comes with a years extra warranty over the FK.

Was also offered tuning art technix coilovers to at around same price any experience with these?

£180 seems a great price and iv been recommended the fk ak coilovers but if you recommend the joms il order a set myself -
with my car being a mk2 2.0 tdi fr nov 06 - which set do i need, i see there is a 50 and 55mm

 

[DamianPM]

It's the ones I'd personally go for.

The JOM covers both fitments - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/jom...kitbr-leon-1p-20tdi-fr-20tdi-0805-p-7965.html

Just orded a set of the jom coilovers from dpm should be here tomorrow all being well... I need to sell my eibach springs now

 

[Roganjosh]

thanks, i see the joms go to around 70mm, i would probably be going around 60-70mm so do you still think the joms will have a better ride screwed right down than the fks which can take 100mm on the front so only be 2/3s down??

 

[DamianPM]

Yes the FK range does tend to be a littel stiffer then others.

I have the FK Highsports and they are good quality. Paid £230 for mine in a sale. Worth a look for their price

 

[lee3011]

Can anyone tell me where to set them at as a starter please?

Lier!

anyway what are the advantages of coilovers vs just lowering springs e.g sportlines

or a spring and shock set like konis

Lol the weather has been crap as you'll know so ill wait until its been cleaned!

i would like a set of coilovers just to lower it another 15-20mm. i have 35mm springs in at the moment, and i think it just needs to sit a tad lower!
