Any one who puts a £180 coilovers on an expensive high quality hot hatch isn't someone id take advice from!

Then don't take my advice.
As I said mate I have driven on many kinds of suspension and let me tell you they are "good" - Very good for the price, almost a Bargain, and as mentioned come with a 2 year warranty. Visually as new they are almost identical to the AP. As you might have noticed I am not one to hang about (not so much in my GTI but in my old TDI that was a little race car and it was treated as such)
I have not found a SINGLE PERSON in 3 years who have put JOMs on a Mk5 and said "they're crap". Can you link to any of these people you speak of?
I hear the occasional drop link failure, of which I documented -http://uk-mkivs.net/topic/55809-public-service-announcement-jom-coilovers-knocking-not-terminal/page-7#entry1878978 - so I do not recommend running these with uprated ARBs, however for a decent honest coilover there's no issues with them and certainly do not deserve the snob factor that some people give!

I absolutely love the ride and build quality of KW, even the comfort on the Ultra Lows was sublime :surprised:

Nathan, we need to get you in a car that has some H&R's on it. You will love them even more :love:

As mentioned over in the Track Day section.
I'm running the Ohlins Road and Track coilovers on my Ed30. Certainly there's no snob factor for me.
I had gone from 'standard' to a Bilstein B12 set up and just felt the Bilstein suspension was way too hard for my old bones.
So after much research into suspension sets up and how different products work. I ended up looking at Ohlins stuff.
This is their budget product at the very bottom of their range. But due to their dual flow valving the dampers react superbly in both bump and rebound. This makes them very road friendly. Which is what I was after.
Of course spending a whole heap of cash on Ohlins gear is not for everyone and I've got no experience of other more cost effective coilovers. But gotta say the Ohlins are superb and well worth every penny. My best mod.
Especially given I cannot see me getting rid of the car for quite a while.
These combined with Cupra lower arms, Supapro ball joints, Eibach antirollbars, Walk and both Unibrace XB and UB have given me a fine handling but very compliant car.
Alex AKS fitted the Ohlins and enjoyed setting them up. So he knows what they are like first hand.
