ive just had a look mate and they seem to be good value for money imo. they seem to do the job mate, they look half decent and its through jamex, not a shitty reseller.. my opinion would be to ask jamex to find out more about them. cant go wrong with a phonecall or email let me know how you get on pal.

Had mine fitted for a year. Good enough for the money, They're quite stiff and bouncy, ok on half decent roads but spine shattering when it gets bad! The setup is a pain in the arse, they've got a elongated bolt hole to allow for camber adjustment. Really needs done with laser tracking equipment.

Just thought id update on these for those thinking of buying a cheap set of coilovers, don't buy from jamexuk on eBay.. I took a risk buying from him tbh he had a streak of bad feedback 6months ago and recently its been good, ordered them Monday or Tuesday and he hasn't made an effort to dispatch them or reply to my messages either. DONN3R also bought a set from him and took around 2 weeks to arrive although he states he sends them out via a 24hour courier hate eBay users like this!!! Sorry about the rant just thought id let people know before they buy a set from him

Finally recieced these today, one of the rear dampers had no wrapper and is all chipped, also when I push it downs its really soft and spongy and doesn't return... Doubt ill get any reply from the bloke as he is USELESS! So will it be ok to put on the car as is or should I get it rebuilt? Cheers.

Why would you get it rebuilt? Email the guy and then stick a paypal claim in if he doesn't reply.

The piston should pop back up once its been pushed down.

If it dosn't, and you fit them, it will just bang like fuk.

Yes i had a problem awhile ago on there as long as it was a buy it now and you never met them your covered by a trading law or something.
Just email him and explain that one is clearly damaged on opening the box and you would like to return them for a full refund. If he refuses just claim through ebay that you recieved damaged goods
