If you must.. i have heard that JOM okay for the money. Maybe a bit more than the cheapest but they are meant to ride a lot better.

Honestly its not worth going for cheap with suspension components you can end up ruining the car for the sake of maybe a £100 or so. If anything invest in some quality plus poly bushes, it'll be worth it. IMHO :-)

I have just got some TA Techinx from Hot Tuning, they are a firm ride and cheap.
My last set were great, no problems

Had a set of JOM on mine for 5 years now, were very harsh to start with, now done 60,000 miles on them and they are OK!
They are OK for how much they cost, just depends if you can cope with your head hitting the roof, or going above the windscreen with the roof down in the cabby lol.

I swapped mine for a set of lowering springs that owed me £20
, and the JOM were only 2 months old

Okay cool, I'll keep them in mind, not gunna lie it's the cheapest I've seen so far. Pay days in just over a week, still likely to have them in stock?
