Jamex Springs

[chindrew]

i have a standard strut AE111 and want to get it lowered. Im thinking of getting jamex springs but people say that jamex isnt good??? Everyone says jamex lowering springs mess up the struts or something? can someone enlighten me on this topic?

ive got jamex lowering springs on my AE101 Corolla and they seem fine, and they give my car a nice stance and they handle real well.

but then im not sure wheather the ones for a AE111 are the same??

I have them in my AE-111 non super strut and I can tell you that they will lower your car unevenly DO NOT BUY THEM!!!! I went through I lot of hassle its just not wort it, get some TRD springs through Mr Revhead.

Had them in an AE82. Far too soft. Wouldn't buy them again.

Had them in my AE101 far too soft, the shocks where bottoming out, very unpleasant. DO NOT BUY THEM.
BUY TRD instead from Mr Revhead.

theres a pretty mixed lot of experiences if you do a search on srpings and jamex. I had a set in the supra and was happy with the results- nice even lowering all round and not too soft, unlike my superlow kings. For the cost I think they are fine, for a little more $$ you can get better, but thats obvious.

Jamex Springs

Made in Netherlands, to strict TUV standards for road cars (not for track use specifically ), by the same company since 1953. Cold wound, silicone steel, progressive rates. Imported and distributed since 1995 into NZ by one company, Auckland based. Nationally available through many outlets and also from NZs most popular auction website. Very competetive pricing, 5 year warranty, powdercoated, and with a massive range to suit most modern cars on NZ roads.

There are many thousands of vehicles, Japanese and European fitted with these springs, on the road in NZ, as each year sales volumes grow and the range grows. If a customer has a specific problem with fitment/performance they should be referring that to the supplier. They don't bite, they have a wealth of knowledge and are easy to find/contact.

I had them in my Civic.THey were ok...Were a bit on the soft side but for $280 for a brand new set who would complain...

i've got them in my 101 rolla lift back same as 20v_rollaboy

front is a bit bouncy, but think that's cause i still have original shocks in there, and it felt bouncy in the front anyway before i put them in. looking at getting some kyb gear shocks for the front to match the back, and see what it's like then.

you raise a pretty good point which many people dont seem to acknowledge when they put new springs in- the shocks play a big role in the equation- if you have poked shocks a new set of springs aint going to help matters at all.

Im putting some in a bmw e28 535 tomorrow. will try to post befores and afters. lowering 50mm overall (already has m-tech -20mm so only an extra 30mm) still running factory bilies, which are going to be rebuilt in near future. should be interesting coz i've heard both positive and negative reports on stiffness etc.

the guy's hoping to have a little front - rear rake (arse up about 10-15mm) deustch styles. chur
