    Coilover life

    So do how well do stiffish coilovers (like 10kg/mm) take life on the street.. do they need to be overhauled every 50k km? or something like that?

    Could people with lots of experience comment on this?

    I am considering some Zeal coilovers. On the softest setting they are quite livable imo but will they simply need binning or expensive fixing after 2 yrs of my street driving?

    Thanks

    im running 14f/10r atm.. they're fine for road use as long as you avoid the bumps and pot holes... i've driven dc2r with zeal function xs (function x springs) and damper rate at 2, it feels firm yet not too harsh.. i ain't no pro but hope it doesn't discourage you into not buying coilovers

      lol. 'harsh' can mean so many things.. it is sooo dependant on personal preference..
      how long have i had my set for? i think its been 2 years now and about 40,000kms..they seem to be working as well as when new, no leaks,etc. daily driven and 2 track days.

          One of the benefits of an adjustable setup is that you can stiffen them up to compensate for the wear over time. Obviously if you start on full stiff you won't be able to do that. 1 yr on BC N+ and they are still sweet.

                I have Function XS on my dc2 and I believe in the bad translation of the documentation that I did, Zeal recommend rebuilding them every 20000-25000km.

                Mine have done about 28000km with a heap of track time and feel much harsher than they did brand new. Centrax up here is brizzy is a Zeal dealer and I have been told they either send them to Sydney or Japan to get serviced. I asked them how much it was to have mine serviced and tuned a little harder and they said $200 a corner and need a few weeks.
