Got my JOM Coilovers from DPM Performance, came quickly:

Now all I need is stupidly over-sized alloys with stretch so I too can make a pointless thread with millions of replies about 'dub' and 'stance' ....... not

when do you get the stiches out mo ? and will you be fitting them yourself one your arm as healed ?

Stitches are out Pete

I'm pondering whether to fit them myself but my hand won't permit any powerful movements for about a year! so don't want to risk ripping the stitches on the tendon

How much did you pay to get yours fitted?

£130 with new top mounts , regret paying that in the end , john was gonna do it for £120 geometry alignment and balancing weights , guy that done mine in tipton quoted me £80 and then said after it was a bigger job than he taught but it wasn't

That's a bit steep

I might ask my mechanic mate to do it, his currently very busy opening up a new garage

Ouch man! Sounded painful, hope you're well on the way to recover. Hurry up and get those coilies on, looking forward to seeing what stance it'll have! :D

Looking good altogether though mate, really coming on. :)

Thanks mate, cast came off today, still a long way to go, physio etc


I'm thinking of ordering some spacers while I'm at it, I know I'll end up buying some eventually might aswell do it all together.

Basically that fat black box is a 'thinner' version... :) just makes it a bit easier to locate in your engine bay. :) 'Ballast' is effectively a transformer to up the 12Vdc of your car battery to the voltage needed for your HID's. :)

Glad you're all healing up well, you'll be back to full fitness in no time! :D

I know it's cringe worthy, the cast is off now, thumb feels sore and twitchy, really irritating feeling, the surgeon said it will take a full year to gain 80/90% movement back, within that time I just have to be careful :joystick:

Hi mate, I've not fitted the JOM's yet but have been in 2 Mk4 Golf's with them on and 1 Leon Cupra, and I must say I was impressed, improved handling, much better stance / drop and ride was not at all harsh as springs. :thumbup:

Wife is constantly wishing he doesn't turn out like me with regards to my passion for car's :whistle:

I've seen somwhere you can buy a 'SEAT' seat! looks kinda cool too.
