JOM Coilovers?

[Murdered LCR]

Ok thanks for your time to reply will have a think

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Just thinking for a lot of people, it'll be more cost effective to change the droplinks rather than shell out for an arb

No because the droplinks don't fix the problem on there own and you need a uprated ARB.

I would much prefer to pay the £180, but id like to have red springs
Dilemma


@Adam
Is an uprated ARB or even shorter droplinks essential? because id hate to budget for the coiloevers then find i need to spend another load of £££ for bits to make it work.

 

[wazzzer]

Just wondering if anyone has these or knows anything about these.

There are 2 versions.
Redline (£280)
Blueline(£190)

They seem too cheap to be true so i just want to know if anyones using or used them before.

I ordered a set of the blue ones from Damien the other week, there getting fitted on saturday so will let you know what there like.

It depends if you want to go lower than 40-45mm or not

 

[Radge-Aha]

Well im hoping for street ssweeper spec

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Quite funnily enough I've just got back from having my FK uprated ARB fitted, you can slam it on its arse with one of these

 

[Radge-Aha]

How much was that?
Is it easy enough to fit with a basic toolkit or is it a garage job?

There about £110ish and you want it done on a ramp at a garage, even then its not a very nice job.

 

[Radge-Aha]

Alright cool, so im looking at about £350 all in for the blueline ones with an uprated ARB

Might just leave it slightly higher for a while then lol.

 

[wazzzer]

The ride is always slightly stiffer with coilovers but I wouldn;t say they were harsh.

Damien i got the blue ones from you the other week and there getting fitted today, but ive been reading a few threads and is it right that to adjust the rears you have to unbolt the shock first? If so which many have said is a PITA are the JOM plus ones better as from the pics the rears look the same as the fronts with the shock inside the spring so easier to adjust?

 

[james walker]

you can adjust the rears for height on the car, just screw the adjuster up and down....

the picture you see is universal, the shocks are independant to the strut.

OK so no need to unbolt the shock then?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I'd say yes you need to unbolt the shock......well I do on mine as there under to much tension to adjust.

Fronts are fine you can adjust without taking the wheel off.

 

[james walker]

really.... thats crap then. surely jack the rear of the car up to take weight of rear end off then adjust will be fine.

 

[DamianPM]

No you don't need to unbolt the shock to adjust the rears.

[adam cupra 20vt]

Not one to argue but there excatly the same as mine and mine you do

In principle you don't but in reality you do......maybe there different

Damian @ DPM Performance

Nice one cheers for letting us know Damien, unfortunately didnt get fitted today now being done monday.

As long as the cars jacked up you should be able to turn them up or down without having to remove the damper.
