I have some on my Corsa 12v and they are bouncy as fuck, kinda regret getting them as after a year I'm still not used to them. Best off getting matching shocks too.

Getting matching shocks, whether its Jamex or any other make, I wouldn't recommend springs alone.

They're for looks only and even then they say they'll drop ya car 60mm but they won't, be more like 45-50mm. Mine doesn't handle too badly round corners, can really chuck round some but like I said, bouncy as fuck.

Springs only? I'd be very surprised if it did drop 60mm.

Nah, compared them with another set of 60mm springs.
Mines down around 50mm at the front and around 45-50mm at the rear.

I had them, car looked nice (-60mm) but drove like crap. Bounced all over the place, NEEDS shocks to match.

This might sound cliché but you really do get what you pay for. Don't go for the cheap way when it comes to suspension. Buy a proper full kit and spend as much as you can.

Totally agree mate iv had 2 budget sets one being jamex which was alright but was harsh,the front springs out the -60mm kit sits a lot lower than -60mm it was more like 70-80mm.

Now recently splashed out on a Bilstein B10 kit for my car which was £330 and the difference is unreal and theres no way id ever buy budget suspension again.
