jom coilovers

hi any one on here running jom coilovers on a m4golf/bora? ive just picked up a set realy cheap want to fit them on my tdi bora. its already lowerd 40mm in 19" rims but just doesent sit right for my liking.what i want to know is does any one now how it will ride on these coilovers ive never had coils before and know it will be stiffer but i use the car everyday and have kids so dont want stupid stiff any ideas!

unless it's got adjustable dampening it's likely to be stiff stiff stiff, based on how much i paid for mine on a group buy i'd say anything normally £250 or under are going to be a hard ride. it's all fun though!

i see. think theses normaly sell for around 220 so prob stiff then. guess have to fit them and see still its always felt a bit sloppy on the corners so should firm it up a fair bit anyway. cheers dude

I had JOM coilies on my golf and they seemed alright, was alot better ride than the shocks & springs it did have.

oh ok good to hear! should look good as well. £140 brand new cant ask for to much realy

i looked at coilovers for mk4's it seems hottuning will be the lowest but they rub on your cv's and/or dont fit properly according to a lot of forums/posts

any coilover as said above that is cheap will be a pretty harsh ride

yeah thats prob the drive shafts rubbing on the anti roll bar if you go lower than 60mm with out the modded roll bar links they on about.
the ones i have got are not hot tunning items.
mine are only suposed to be a 30% uprate on the dampers. so not to bad but dont know about the spring rateing thou. we will see i guess.

I didn't know James' were JOM - they're pretty darn smooth compared to my hottuning coilies... good luck!

no nothing to do with the antiroll bar rub

the strut on the hottuning coils are apparently to long so the bottom of the strut literally sits on you cv or paper thin close

you sure it aint the arb? because if the suspension setup is similiar to a mk4 golf then it could be the arb's, because on a mk4 you have to have an adjustable one if you want to lower it more than 40mm.

nope i mean the bottom of the strut rubs on the cv because its too long

therefore many people cut the bottom of the strut down

I know what your saying ben. You mean specificly on the mk4? Should be ok though i suppose, because it shouldn't move.

little bit off topic, but hows the conversion going mate you got the running issues sorted now?

Dan

Still waiting to get a lambda sensor from somwhere, but generally it dosn't run that bad, fine for everyday use anyway! Uses a lil bit of petty but i'm sure that's down to my right foot I've got my wheels on, and my boot, there pics in my project thread. So yea it's going all right lol, still needs a few lil bits n bobs to finish it but it's getting there lol.
