Coilovers

FLiP · 24-08-2006, 01:01 PM

Quick question...

If i were to get coilovers, would they wear the same as a spring + shock system or would they last longer? Obviously it depends on how you drive it, but let's consider 16000kms a year daily driving plus one annual track fang.

Also, when they do wear out? Are they rebuiildable? Like, can they be regassed and you buy new springs for them and how much would this cost? I hope i wouldn't need to fork out $1500 minimum for new ones when they wear out... that would be gay.

Would be best to here from someone who actually owns coilovers.

Thanks.

they wear out the same as normal suspensions.
they are rebuilable.
springs can be brought for them.

not all brands sell springs. but can be made up just like normal springs can.

and when rebuilt, they can be customised to your to your preferred specs.
