Which bits did you have to trim to get the bumper to fit?
How hard can it be?

Looks good bud, liking the chrome front tbh. What do the joms ride like, ive always found they've been great on other cars, well not as bad as you would expect for the money anyway. Thinking of getting some so i can save for air!

I found the JOM's to be very nice. I noticed a very harsh change in the ride when I changed to FK's, perhaps this was due to running a lot lower?  :innocent:

The front springs knock a little and I believe (although I have not done this yet myself) a cure would be to sleave the top and bottom part of the springs. For their price I love them, wouldnt have chosen any different apart from the back not going low enough for my liking.  :rolleye: Other people have had mixed opinions.  :happy2:

Yeah the knocking seems to happen on all of the, after a couple of weeks/months! The shock comes loose inside so it just needs tightening again, my mates been running them on his leon for about 2 years, his go very low and he has room for lower and thats been the case with all of my previous experiences with them. Did you remove the helper?

He rides it that high due to being a daily, goes lower for shows

Well the fronts didnt have a helper spring... they still have about an inch of thread left. The rears were as low as possible and still with arch gap :( Would have been pointless removing the cups as the JOM ones are tiny!
