I know it's a bit of "how long is a piece of string" question, but how long would one expect a reasonably good set of coilovers to last for? Something like BCs.
I have just under 100k on the e36 with original shocks/springs and they still feel tight and up for another few k. With average usage would you get 30-50k out of the coilovers? Or not even?
I'd say more. I have JOM's in and I live in the sticks and on shit roads and they are still going strong. I do heavy mileage every week, will hit 180,000 this week or next and I think I put them in at 140,000 maybe.Quote:

Off topic but did he bin it? I saw it was for breaking on the other site. Such a shame as it was a lovely carQuote:

Really regret selling it, (or could be lucky that I didn't end up with the subframe issue) especially for it to end up like that.
That sucks man was a really nice car! Your e36 is even better though :D
Ah I'm delighted I've gotten the e36, keeps me busy!Quote:
