just wondering if anyone has bought a set of the jamex coilovers that are on ebay, they look ok for the money.

not sure if they will be any good for a big block cars either?

ive seen them in Total vauxhall, look good for about 280 quid, theyre ride height and dampening adjustable so id imagine they'll be alright on the big block cars, although id take it easy over hump back bridges cos they'll bottom right out! ive got jamex shocks and lowered springs and i think my shocks are sha*ged, i could do with some coilovers and wouldnt mind hearing back if theyre any good or not!

theres some 2nd hand spax rsx in the classifieds. I'd rather go 2nd hand on them then buy cheap coilovers. I have rsx and they're pretty good

Cause that 185pounds would be wasted if they where sh1te

at the end of the day im not going to be racing this thing around a track, its got a 6 lump in the front so im not expecting it to handle at all lol, just after something thatl cope with the weight and be better than standard gear. i dont like spending a fortune on stuff as il be bored of it in a week lol.

thanks for the info, if i get them il let you guys know what i think!
