They look the same, do the same basic thing, but are totally different.
heinz make the baked beans for own brand stores, so they are the same lol

Are the jamex kits the ones with the shock and spring on the rear intergrated, or are they seprate like standard?

The street line fixed kit has had alot of bad reviews to be honest a few poeple off here have commented that they have a unberable hard ride and one lad even said it had split his paint on his side skirts he was selling his set in "parts offered" last week havent herd many good reviews, have ago with the coilovers that what im going to give ago i think
