ned 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Hello all, I have a set of Jamex front struts and rear shocks that i got with the car. Just wondering has anyone any experience with these and are they any good. Ive had the car for about a year now and would like to lower it but will the car handle better with these or am I better off staying with the standard suspension?

welshpug 1,657 Posted December 10, 2007 better off with standard factory dampers or Bilstein sprintline dampers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted December 10, 2007 On my mates car the fronts were pretty harsh and crashy, i'd be tempted to keep the rears and sell on the fronts and put the money towards some better quality ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

projectpug 0 Posted December 11, 2007 Ive found Gaz to be quite a cheap quality product when couple witha a set of decent spring. They make a massive difference to the handling of the car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MerlinGTI 3 Posted December 29, 2007 Got jamex all round on my 1.6 and they are very harsh and unforgiving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josh1990 0 Posted December 29, 2007 no experience with shocks, but i have Jamex lowering springs and they perform fine . Same here Standard dampers -40mm jamex springs. They made the handling much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 1 Posted December 29, 2007 Same here Standard dampers -40mm jamex springs.They made the handling much better. I've got Jamex on the rear of mine, they are coming off... Far to harsh. I've read somewhere that Standard rears are good enough? Thanks, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
