JOM coilovers - Long term ownership

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I know that you get what you pay for with coilovers, but read that these JOM ones are pretty good for the price. Has anyone had them on for any period of time (like 6months - 2years)? How do they hold up?

Tbh, if only read about them on here in the last few months. You'll be hard pushed to get much of a review longer than that tbh

as matt says i dont think they've been available for furby for long enough yet to find out ? emoticon-0148-yes.gif

I'm very tempted to get them myself once somewhere like DPM get them in stock again - Pretty much all of my driving is motorway at the moment so can't imagine them taking a huge amount of hammering and would really like the stability. My current dampers are beginning to show the 130k they've got on em!

They tend to sieze up the same as most of the other ebay brands.

Well I think I have had mine about two months and iirc I was one of the first to get them, I've had no problems yet. They are quite bouncy but handle well, combined with a white line rarb it's good round corners. They go quite low too, I've had no problem with seizing yet, just make sure you grease them well, I keep lowering mine more n more n each time I do I spray White grease n clean the old off,

Hope this helps

I'm assuming you have evidence of that, have seen it happen yourself or just a sweeping statement about budget coilies? :giggle:

I have a grinder, a hammer, a big screwdriver, a big tin of wd40, and a chisel which has seen a few siezed coilovers.

If they're plastered in grease it can be avoided but it's down to the weather and how much they're driven on too. Personally I'd prefer to spend the extra for Weitec over the budget brands.

We just had a set of stainless steel adjuster rings made up for a mate. They should stop his adjusters getting siezed on like the last ones he had to cut off.

Aaaah adjusters getting siezed i can understand with budgets - i read your first post as a pretty much total failure of the damper assembly :)

ah cool cheers, didnt realise they'd only just come out! I only want them for the lowering - i dont trash around like im a racing driver, and i take my wheels off every few weeks to keep everything clean so i'll give the collars a few twists to keep it from seizing.
