Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • JOM durability

    Hi all
    I am considering buying a set of JOM coilovers for my 99 passat
    Has anyone got feedback on how they stand up over time in the way of wear & tear as the price seems to good to be true
    I have some mighty pots hole in my area & don't wont something that is going to start leaking after a slight bump

    Thanks Ian

    I've got JOM's on a mk4 golf, they are extremely stiff but you have to expect that.
    I've been through a few pot holes, decent enough to dent a rim but the coilovers have been fine.

    I wouldn't really recommend them to anyone, just because they are really stiff.

    IMHO I'd save the extra and get something that is a little more comforting.

      Your car looks good in the pic. How far is dropped & is that the way you normally run it
      I had set of simmons wheels very similar on my mk2
      Iv had koni.sport & they will knock the fillings out of your teeth

      I would'nt drop it more than 30_40mm so that might
      compensate for the ride. I have read that more you lower them the harder the ride
      I am pleased to hear they are standing up to regular usage
      Thanks Ian

        A friend of mine had them. Didn't like them, removed them and we ended up changing it to a set of lowered springs and standard shocks.


        I guess you get what you pay for. Some people just want to be able to adjust their ride height and in that case, they suit the purpose.
