JOM Coilovers

[Mint]

Right..I've got a rear spring that has snapped so I've started thinking about a set of lowering springs or ideally a set of adjustable coilovers and I've seen these on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seat-Leon...=Car+Make:Seat|Model:Leon&hash=item46008c4d09

Some ppl on the a3 forums have them fitted and seem to rate them for a budget set. I'm not wanting to shell out a fortune on suspension so what are your thoughts on these?

Got a set on my Toledo, for the money they aren't too bad

 

[jase750]

I'm not saying that they're no good, but you have to wonder how come you get springs AND shocks for the same price as a decent set of springs?
And personally suspension,brakes and tyres are the places I wouldn't want to go "budget"

there ok, hard ride and bouncy and don't tend to last as long as the higher end ones

For the money it's a good option and comes with two years warranty, give me a shout if you need any prices and I'm sure we'll be able to get the best offer for you.

2 Year warranty, thats bloody good for cheaper budget coilovers.

 

[MATTCR]

Got em on mine, just protect them and youll be laughing.....

.... You'll be bouncing around whilst laughing. But laughing all the same.

know of them on a mk1 leon, mk4 astra loads of mk2 3 4 golfs, polos etc (theres alot of "dublove" where I am). anyway never heard of a problem and amazing value for money. Im planning on buying a set payday

 

[Lodey23]

cant fault them really, ride quality is alot better than the rest of the budget coilovers

 

[DamianPM]

Very popular kit and we sell shed loads.

iv got a set on mine and they seem to be fine, to be fair with the 2 year warrenty you carnt go far wrong.

 

[Brettyboy]

I'll be getting a set soon

Just fittted a set on mine. One of my rear shocks leak after less than 24hrs due to an imperfection on the shaft... A quick call and a few questions and a new shock was sent to me.

C spanner is crap and they are quite bouncy when your low low and I struggled to get the rear lower than lowering springs without taking the adjusters out. It's very early days for me to comment any further.

 

[turboboy]

To add I got mine from the same company....top service and replaced my leaking shock no hassle

Personal opinion, but keep an eye out on ebay for barely used sets of coilover. I got an eibach set which is around £700 worth of kit for £300 after it had been used for 2 months. Would rather have that than a brand new cheap set.

They're popular because they are cheap, no other reason. They are cr*p quality low rent coilovers and your standard suspension setup is better. Buy a second hand set of KWs or FKs, Weitec Hicons are also far better. A good set of 60mm lowering springs will give far better ride and handling than the JOM coilovers.

 

[Brettyboy]

I've just ordered a set,yes they are budget but end of the day i don't drive my car hard,do alot of motorway mile & tbh just want them for the look of the car sitting nice & level,only going to go 20mm as mine is a tdi

 

[MooRzy]

There quality. I had a set for a several thousand miles and couldn't fault them, they will go low enough. I have had them on over the winter, with no protection, and they came off fine no hassle at all. I have just removed them and will be selling them soon, and if I was going to buy a set again I wouldn't hesitate buying a second hand set. Great first time coil overs

There is a reason they are so cheap

I had a set fitted to a mk4 Astra. Lasted 2 months and 1 front and 1 rear failed.

A warranty is good but you need to pay for fitting and removal when they fail
You also need to pay for postage back and the seller I got mine from advised if I send them back and they are not faulty he will bill me £350 for inspection for a £200 set of coilovers

 

[Cupra Ross]

Cheap and nasty, and not as good as standard shocks and springs.
