195's will help with any clearance issues, but there's a decent bit of stretch.

mk3pete, thhanks for the info, they do look the part. Let us know how they fit and ride. s for rubbing, cant you play around with the height.

man those things arent coilovers. dont waste your money on them!

I know they arent coilovers, but am limited by budget. Arent lowered springs with shocks any good. I was going for a 35mm drop.

Jamex is a good brand.

bit of a stupid question but which ones are the fronts im gathering that its the shorter ones hmmm?

front are the ones that have the mounts down the bottom (2 bolt holes) which hold the rotors/control arm

[mk3pete]

why are people saying there not coilovers clearly they are?????????????????????

[Jon_Vr6]

Hey Mk3pete, do you have any idea which shipper this mob are using. I found some springs/shocks from another mob but they can only find a shipper for 120pounds. If I can get them shipped for 70 I can get the set for around $400 AUD shipped. This is the site

[mk3pete]

man those front struts are a c**t too get off still havnt succeeded yet

[mk3pete]

hey guys the new ones didnt come with rubbers on the top like the originals do wondering if i need to take the oem ones off and put them on my new ones also will i need a spring compressor for the front ones i know i dont need them for the rears

Go and get some new ones - your old ones probably need replacing. They are not that expensive...

[mk3pete]

thats the thing i just recently replaced my old front struts with oem ones about 4 month ago so they are in good nic but i do definatly need them dont i, they go on the very top of the strut

[rayray086]

Yep you're fine with just transferring them, though I'd expect the OEM ones to wear out quicker (relative to having them installed on stock struts).

[mk3pete]

but to get them off the oem strut will i need a spring compressor or not

[99gti]

Not too sure with the Mk3. The Mk4 ones just sit on top...
