Worn out coilover

[SilEighty Slide]

hello, im curious as to full coilover systems, im guessing that they like any other shock, wear out, so what do you do when the coilover wears out? can you dissamble it and get new parts or do you have to trash it? thanks

If you get a good Suspension system you should be able to rebuild them.  Most racing shocks are this way and motorcycles are too.  

Just ask the comapny you are buying them from if the are rebuildable.

I think the caveat to this is that if you get your Teins, Zeals, Cuscos, JIC's, etc. and one blows you have to send it away to be rebuilt.  If it is a company that lacks a US operations, that means disassemble whole suspension and reinstall factory units... international shipping... wait for fixing... international shipping... disassemble whole suspension and reinstall coilovers, drive.  If you have a company w/ domestic operations, just chance international to national.

In other words, while they can be rebuilt/revalved if one should have a defect or get blown it is not like you can just order one from your local parts house.
