Default Rebuilding Coilovers

I have a set of Function and Form Coilovers that needs to be rebuilt (2 rears). I already talked to F2autolife and they can not rebuild them since they are the first generation coilovers and that they do not have the parts. And they can not sell me two new rears. So I'm basically assed out. Any help would be appreciated. or I will just throw these sh*tty coilovers in the trash...

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Maybe you should start looking for a used set from a more reputable company that will have the resources and parts to rebuild. BTW sick wheels

I always thought those types coilovers were made in such a way that they couldn't be rebuilt, hence the low price. I would trash them and get a used set of teins, buddyclubs, etc... since those can be rebuilt.

Or you can find out which company who makes the FnF coilovers and ask them directly. Or try and talk your way into a core exchange. Pay the difference for the newer version?

That really sucks.

When I went to KW for an issue, they showed me a first batch of coilovers that were getting rebuilt from a long time ago. Once again you get what you pay for.
