Default How Long Do Coilovers Last

Im looking in getting the Tein Basics soon and I was just curious on how many miles you can get out a set of coilovers before they need to be sent out to get rebulit.

LOL, makes you think twice about getting rid of the stock setup so early.

What's "rebuilding?" Is this for coilovers only? If I got aftermarket shocks, would those need rebuilding?

Any damper can be rebuilt. Over time, the components of dampers wear out, and will eventually need replacing.

rebuilding the coilover will save you alot of money from buying a new set of coilovers
