Default Need some advice.

So I finally got ahold of Endless USA and spoke to someone.

Its 400$ for a standard coilover over haul (100$ per coilover) + s/h.

Its 600$ for a custom coilover over haul (150$ per coilover) and then another 80$ per coilover if I want to get different springs from endless.

They said that these are base prices because once they start the rebuild if certain parts need to be repleaced they will do it and it might cost a little more.

So with this being said I would definately want to do a custom over haul, but 920$ + s/h both ways seems not worth it to me. I mean the setup was 2,200 new two years ago.

What would you guys do? Dump them and let someone else rebuild and use them and get something better, or just rebuild them and live with them?

so you have to invest $1,000 in order to have a system that you can sell for max $1,800 - tough call because it makes it very unattactive for prospective buyers...

so far so good but i have only had a couple of track days and an autorcross day on them. i do know that maxrev has run them for a while and i don't believe he's had any problems thus far.


there's got to be a race shop somewhere able to revalve those cheaper...

Frank, what do you think of these coilovers? In Japan Zeal is pretty reknown. I know these are the base model of their lineup, but how have they held up for you? Just curious.

I love ZEAL, I think they were great and held up to what I needed them to for. I drive very agressive on the street, I should just track my car

Anyway, I think im just going to get new coilovers and bite the bullet. I love my car and only want the best for it. Now the re search begins for a new setup.
