Coilovers in the winter?

[nicksalerno80]

Just want to get peoples thoughts/experience with driving on coilovers in the winter. Did it last year because I didn't have much of a choice, but just wondering if it is bad for them, well I know it's probably not the best but.......

It should be no worse for them than driving on shocks and springs. Only thing that should be an aspect on abnormal wear and tear is how aggressively you use them on track days and such.

Only caveat I'll add to this isthe quality of the parts used. If it was a crappy coilover to begin with, it'll wear out faster than a quality one.

That's what I was figuring, thanks.

No problem.

If you do it, just try and keep them clean so the seals dont get messed up. Mine are on their way out unfortunately, they need rebuilds.

I don't think it is as serious for you since you are still stock ride height, but it's not a bad idea still if you want to keep it nice.

Yea I know, I am monster trucking it. Man if you seen my drive way you would understand.

I wasn't saying anything about your monster truck, I was just commenting that you have more clearance than I do.
