Jamex Springs

I am looking to lower my car and i have seen a few pictures of cars with jamex lowering springs. The one said it was 1.5 inchs the whole way around. I have looked and looked but havent found a place that sells these springs. If anyone knows where i can buy these springs please let me know. Also one guy had a oil pan skid plate and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find one of these. Thanks!

Hopefully it will look like this

Sorry to tell you man...but Jamex closed down awhile back. YOu could probably somehow get it from the german branch? i think thats where their still open. But in the U.S. its closed down. You could probably still try to find it used though.

And damn man...that looks like some 20" rims if not bigger. And like a airbag suspension. I dont think even the coil overs could do that man. It will looked dropped but not slammed.

Jamex springs won't drop the car that much, but you will see 1.5 to 2". The springs are no longer available in the U.S. -BUT- the shop here in CA where I got mine might be able to get them. It's a Mustang shop, but hey if you want the springs then who cares.

I'd have to dig up my receipt and get the name and number.

Nope that's correct. Pre '89 rear disc brake cars have the calipers set-up that way. Driver's side is on the trailing edge, passenger side is on the leading edge just like in the picture.

I think the only way to tuck the wheels that much would be Airbag suspension. But with coilovers and a set of 18's and 35 series tires I'm sure you could almost get that stance. I think the photoshopped pic looks really sweet.

I know that it was a photoshopped picture just saying that thats not a 1.5" drop. And that those rims are = to like 20" or bigger.

GTR - $125 a set + shipping 1-909-987-4386

I believe they have 3 or 4 sets left.

Below is a pic of my car with the Jamex 1.5" lowering springs. I got them from BMR when they had them on sale for $125 a couple of years ago.

I had the Jamex springs on my car, really good for the money. Got them from BMR 1.5 years ago for $99 when they were blowing them out.
Mine dropped a little bit,
