I just missed out on buying a set of weitec coilovers on ebay

so this might have been covered before but i cant find a definite answer

which is better, FK or JOM?

some people say theres no difference between them? but theres a £50 price gap so there must be some difference in quality??

any helps appriciated. thanks

cheers matt
ive read through that a couple times, everyone seems to think there both good for the price but no ones really said that either are better

i think im leaning to the fk and then put the saving towards some spacers

FK and JOM are the same quality, budget coilovers. They are exactly the same, just different naming.

Hi mate,

I've got JOM coilovers on my GP, had no issues whatsoever. To the best of my knowledge, as others have commented, they are essentially the same coilover.

However, I spoke to a supplier (who sells both FK and JOM) who recommended I buy JOM as there are massive issues when it comes to returns with FK as you need to contact them in mainland Europe - not to mention supply issues - whereas with JOM, returns are dealt with in the UK. Plus when I bought the JOMs I got a 2 year warranty instead of the 1 you get with FK.

In the end i went for the fk

Purely based on the £50 saving, which will be going towards something else
ill let you know how i get on with them

thanks for the help guys

How much do these items budget coilovers cost? How much of that money has been spent on the R&D & testing of them? - any more than Fiat spent on the OE units? I doubt it very much and knowing that the OE units are made to a tight budget anyway, yes even the sports set-up... Better with the devil you know then perhaps? That's why I'm thinking I won't bother changing them unless it's for Bilstein or Eibach. There's a reason why they cost £800. They're worth it. At c£200 a wheel it's money well spent, I reckon. Although I do wish Fiat had spent the extra ££ in the first place, but that's a pipe dream I know.
