not heard that name for a while! are they still going?! i dont think many if any people use jamex on here on their MK4's really? People tend to use H&R, eibach, FK, koni, KW. Jamex are old skool! Didnt they rename under GMAX? If so, STAY WELL AWAY!

 

[20valve]

No, GMAX is a seperate company.

Jamex are a German brand........they are the cheapest I have found for springs (?75 delivered)

Only thing that worrys me is I am getting a good deal or is it like everthing else you pay for what you get............meaning are they just cheap sh**e???????????

I had Jamex shocks n springs on my old VR6 for a while and they were pretty good tbh... I only changed them because I wanted coilovers so I could go lower

hi im new to the forum and ive just got some 35mm jamex springs to put on my 02 gti turbo. will they be ok without changing the dampers? also does anyone recomend me changing anything else while i had it all off?

one more thing, i see everyone has AUM etc next to what car they have what is that?!

 

[cenobytez]

I am running jamex on mine, only fitted springs. didnt change dampers.

depends on what mileage your dampers have done already. If already high mileage then think about changing em, but I would say if you were gonna change dampers you might as well get a matched kit.

I have just fitted a set of 35mm ones to my car, they have made it sit nice but with standard shock's it seems quite bouncy, so I would recomend changing the shocks aswell

 

[cenobytez]

chrisr they will settle down after a few weeks of driving. mine have settle down quite a bit now and are nowhere near as harsh as when first fitted

 

[chrisr]

cheers for that, hope they do settle more, seems to bounce quite a bit at the moment

 

[tHeLoCuSt]

ah thats good to hear then. also when i start my car from cold it obviously idles a bit higher but i think its the turbo whists pretty loud ut once warm its ok...

 

[flatfreeman]

You can buy jamex height adjustable coilovers on ebay for around £200 mark new. People rate them ... Vmaxx quality but abit cheaper, also similar are JOM. They come with 3 yrs Gtee too so cant be that bad! ... Just stay away from raceland/hottuning/rokkor (mainly from belgium)

have you used these peace? honestly with tjust the springs its like im nodding my head BOING BOING BOING, coil over will stop this?

 

[heavyhitter]

i use 35mm jamex springs and shocks too, happy with them, silent, solid, and handle well would prefer coilovers tho needs to be 5 or 10 mill lower i think...
