Technical Information About Jamex Springs

Jamex Sport Spring and Sports Lline kits are well known for supreme performance with a competitive edge in every respect. With a combination of top quality materials and efficient, modern manufacturing methods, Jamex produce the most genuine value-for-money product on the market today.

Sportspring kits consist of two-or-four-spring kits depending on the vehicle's original specification, Sportsline kits contain both spring and shock absorbers/struts as required. All Jamex products are developed and manufactured to complement each other and comply with several international quality standards; e.g. the German TuV standard.

Key technical facts:

• Jamex springs ar manufactured from highest grade SiCr steel.
• Quality assured via German TuV standard compliance.
• Jamex springs are forged using the more reliable 'cold drawn' method. Some competitors use the hot-forged method of manufacturer, this has an adverse effect on the springs' tensile strength: i.e. consistent tension.
• Following the forging process, a temperature controlled oil based treatment is applied to the spring to ensure that the required hardness and tension is reached, thus giving full operational effectiveness throughout the spring's entire lifecycle.
• The SiCr steel is initially treated with Zinc-Phosphate, and finished in an Epoxy Resin to provide effective protection of the spring.
• The production proces is fully automated to enable a high degree of consistency in the end product.
• Jamex shock absorbers contain both oil and gas. The gas serves to cool the oil to produce a more consistent operation.
• Standard shock absorbers (for example - KONI brand) contain oil but no gas. This has a detrimental effect on quality and will reduce the lifecycle of the shock absorber significantly, even under normal driving conditions.
• Jamex Pro-Street shock absorbers are constructed to allow the amount of gas contained to be increased, to allow their performance to be further improved.
• Jamex Sport shock absorbers improve damper performance by 30% compared to a standard unit.
