vw_john 10 Posted July 2, 2012 I have had them on my mk3 golf and have them on my G60 now, for the price they are well worth it, I am saving for some better quality ones, but I don't see it being worth it right now. but I have had them both wound down quite far. if they were raised, they could be crashy? but wound down they are fine, albeit a bit bumpy.

Jim 2 Posted July 2, 2012 At the very least I'd use Febi ones, but preferably new ones from VW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonejag 10 Posted July 3, 2012 I have JOMs fitted - they fit fine, only issue is that the same kit is sold for many different cars (Mk3, Polo, various Seats) and the springs are a bit weedy for a VR lump. They work well enough but creak a lot and make sproing noises if you corner aggressively :lol: Cheap as chips though, I'll be keeping them for a fair while!

carrots 1 Posted July 3, 2012 ive orderd some and some rear top mounts.ive already got new front top mounts.do you coat the coilovers in anything to protect them.i thought of wax oil once ive set them to the height i want Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted July 3, 2012 You could do, mine are still fine though. A light coat of WD40 to protect the threads and stop them seizing up is a good idea, just reapply whenever you change the ride height. Be aware the blue coating on the springs is crap! Mine's virtually all cracked away after less than a year on the car - doesn't affect perfomance at all, just looks untidy. Maybe give them a coat of plastidip?
