JOM vs TA-Technix

[projektzwo]

So, both of those brands are probably the cheapest coilovers ever but i'm still reading comments that they're not so bad as the price talks...
Both of them are TUV sertificated, 2 year warranty, but can't decide which are the better option.
Let's discuss all about those cheap coilovers!

[P78]

what price are they?
what car are they for?

i know for golf 3 they both suck!

i'm talking about e36 ones, but i want them for my w124 coupe...

can be wrong on this

but don't shitty coils work better on heavier cars?

sounds weird, but as a matter of fact i know few guys runing e36 coils (those makes) on their w124's and they're happy with the result...

well friend of mine has ta on his mk3 golf
when i was looking for coils i drove his car and a couple of others
good cheap coils were AP (for the golf at least)

AP coils are not so cheap, compared to Jom or Technix, they have cheap shock absorbers...

they are cheap compared to koni and bilstein

think they were 600€

you're running them on e30 or something else?

Yes E30!

As said, theyre good on heavier cars, takes away the 'bounce'.

Natedogg on here had JOM's on his E46, I can say they rode lovely as a passenger at the lowest setting.

i can personally say that the JOM coilovers are miles better than the TA crap, i have had 4 different types of coilovers in my rides and the JOM for cheaper brand takes the cake, eats it and craps on the TA.


reasons:
The TA has a stiffer spring rating than the JOM also the helper spring on the JOM's rating is alot softer.

Do yourself a favor and go for the JOM bluelines, you wont regret it!

I have tried TA on e36, e39 and e90.. and its okey if you have a little wheel gap.. cant imagine the JOM to be worse...

go for JOM

I'm hearing those are the same coils with different colored springs...cant confirm that though. I read a similar discussion on a german Golf MK3 board and most people were all happy with the TA coils, one guy had it for three years and now even got a second set of the same coils for his winter ride...they cant be that bad i guess!
