One topic that I don't see coming up often is the life of an aftermarket suspension coilover. I've had my tein cs for a full year now and they are still running strong, hopefully. The drop is considerable in the summer months but during winters, I raise them for snow clearance. I hope these last for couple of years, but sometimes I doubt it since the roads in Massachusetts suck ***. So the question is, how long have you been riding on your coilovers, and how low do you go? And have you blown any sets yet?

I finally through my rims back on and lowered the coupe all the way. I'll post pictures later.

Thanks

Its a diamond graphite with 19 iforged flux. Its the lowest its ever been. Despite the roughness, steping out the car and looking at it is worth every bit.

 

I'm happy with 19s. Plus, if i got 20s the rear tires would have a lower profile than the front and i was all worried about bending the rim, so on so forth. I shoulda but, i'm satisfied with this setup.

 

really depends on how you drive the car and weather conditions, climate.

but the TypeHA's i had on my previous gen5 lude and 02 WRX lasted
a long time.. i was one of the first people to ever have TEIN stuff back
in 98' and the HA's were still going strong after 5 years and 35k miles.

 

kinda off topic....but how do you like your CS?...ive been thinking of getting them also...thanks.

 

anybody??

 

After I sold my Tokico shocks, one of the fronts blew for the new owner. Felt bad for the guy.

Been riding on HKS RS for 1 year, no problems so far...

 

not sure about coilovers, but tokico shocks come with a warranty for the life of your car

 

+1 on the Boston Road..... Suks big ones....
