Coilover: disadvantages

Post by turbo-me »

Did anyone ever had the strut in a coilover go bad. I'm guessing that means that the whole thing would be worthless? Unless the company makes a threaded strut replacement. Also list some of disadvantages you've experienced...thanks

I saw cottage cheese sing the nation anthem through a Belgian shoe-horn.

heard of alot of WRX guys having issues with JIC coilovers going bad, rebuild kits are cheap and can be done with common hand tools.

Green cheese hang'n with the cabinet door. Jaguars Helmet is one phone call away from the destruction carpet coffee.. Moral of the story, Don't let your NASCAR guide divolge information to your Medical Directory. :)

If the Tire rubber makes it to the desktop surface then what does Vegas have to do with Cheese Grits? Also, why do the speaker and hockey puck keep arguing over simple things like the meaning of life and poddering spagetti.
