Why are these so cheap, have a guarentee so i cant see why there cheap :/

 

[Fl@pper]

cos you get what you pay for ?

 

[Shaunyboy]

Obviously, but they cant be worse than lowering springs surely, just trying to work out how they can justify a 3 year warrenty and a cheap price, maybe too good to be true? or worth a try?

Also does it matter that the spring is on the damper?

 

[Fl@pper]

may be worth asking/keeping an eye on this one ??

Don't go there like I did! Bent one strut on a dip in the road, okay I was sent a pair in replacement, but shortly after the replacement strut insert collapsed so had to use the other new spare! Springs were hopeless, main spring was too hard & helper was very soft (as they are), car bottomed out very hard on any dips in the road (hence bent strut), bought new full length springs which made them better however the ride was still crap! After a year, had enough & bought some Jamex springs for the standard struts, changed them last weekend - thank God for that, its now got a decent ride again.

Although it says it fits all models these won't actually fit the R as they have no mount for the ARB.

mate of mine had them with no issues whatsoever. Aparently they're made along side one of the more prestigious brands and re branded.

I'm running these to [rebranded] with no problems.

May just use the jamex coilovers instead there 350 but probably worth the extra 200 odd quid. I dont want to just use lowering springs as the ride could be crashy, then would need dampers, and by that time could have got decent coilovers.

There the same to for the normal Leon, I know someone who has a set on a mk4 golf and there identicle to mine

The Jamex ones are £225 on Ebay but not sure if they do the R versions

 

[Shaunyboy]

These cheaper coilovers dont seem to fit the lcr, supose with the right bracket tigged on it may work.

for the leon mk2

wonder if they fit as they have a droplink mount.

I can assure you that just with springs your ride will be nowhere near as crashy as with those cheap, crap coilovers! Been there & bought the T shirt!

 

[Shaunyboy]

Thats why i might bite the bullet and buy jamex.

 

[james walker]

but jamex aint really that good mate... why not get the weitecs on offer at the mo..

300 for jamex or 390 for weitecs.. hmmh let me think.

 

[Shaunyboy]

Wheres that at? Not really seen many sets of coilovers for these cars.

 

[james walker]

dpm, awesome.... have you been asleep over the last 3 months... best coilover offer of the year!!!!

 

[Shaunyboy]

Been bogged down with engines mate, bored of them tbh.

 

[james walker]

bin it off then, and get some weitecs.. sure that will cheer you up

JOM 198 quid, ahaha yeah just looking at them now mate. Wonder if anyone knows how to get the boot trim off without serious damage?

 

[james walker]

jom, decent reviews in the states... nowhere near as good as the weitecs, but they do go low if thats what you want... also the joms arent lcr fitment mate, no arb brackets.
