those of u who drop you G with spring... how long r u planning have it on?

spring will wear out your shock really fast... so r u guys goin to install coil when it come out? or r u guys all leased your G...

 

KW's will be out soon i hope!!

 

waiting is killing me.. im college student(car design)can't afford rim yet..
but have money for coil... i just want to put spring in.. but..shock will wear out soon.. im driving 100miles every day buena park to pasadena..

 

How much life do you think it will take off your springs?

 

most people told me 35000 - 40000... but my friends own gti he had spring on.. only last 20000.....or less

 

With Maximas that were lowered on stock struts, you had a 12,000 miles on your factory struts before they would blow... thats if you were lucky... alot were blowing in half the time...

 

I'd imagine it's also an issue of how low you go. If you are running very low springs I'd expect it to wear out more quickly. If you are running a moderate lowering, like the Eibach, I'd expect they'd last much longer.

But I guess only time will tell

 

What fits our cars?

I saw they have them for the G35.

I had an Audi S4 that had the KW V3's on it and I loved them. Height and rebound adjustable.

 

That's why you should always buy shocks as well. When I lowered my old Civic, I had Tokico's and Eibachs that went 60,000 miles that I had them on and were still going strong.

 

Werd. I would think that driving conditions also contribute to the life span of the struts. IE: you live in a pothole ridden area or hit lots of bumps putting the suspention components to work more so than on smooth streets.

 

Agreed, it's a night and day difference btwn stock struts and aftermarket, no matter the car. I'd expect you to get about 1-2 yrs of casual driving on a lower spring/stock strut combo which may be fine if you have a 2yr lease.

 

Sorry I did not see your other post on this.

 

as soon as teins come out wit there coils im getting them!

 

It really depends how low you go. The more you compress the stock shocks the quicker they will wear out.

 

^^^ any word on when tein coils will be released?
