Should be similar to the other Taiwan sourced coilovers like BC, Megan, etc. I've got over 70k miles on my Megan coilovers and they still are working well, a bit squeaky when cold but other than that they've held up well.


I'd apply some copper anti seize on the collar threads, or wrap the unused threads w/ blue painters tape as those threads get full of debris making future adjustments harder. Be sure to set preload as per their instructions, if that's not clear just a bit compressed, like 5mm should get you there.

It would be a good idea to have someone that's not new to doing auto repairs give you a hand. This isn't an overly complex DIY but not something I'd suggest trying if you've never done ANY auto wrenching. Take a look at the several DIY links on youtube and on this site and see if it's something you want to attempt, but again, get a buddy to help that's done some auto work.


This is a project that requires having your car securely lifted on jack stands and a fair amount of work will be done under the car, so again, having someone that's versed in auto repair for your own safety is important.

The thicker type you use for gas lines (it's yellow tape) would hold up better.
