What is the life of a typical coilover, miles/yrs? When they wear out, are they replaced like shocks? Thanks.

), it would be a pain though, You'd have to take the coilovers off the car, put something temporary on, send the coilovers in, then swap them back on. Unless you DIY the install, the cost is 2 additional installs.Plus, you are hoping that you still have the stock (or an alternative) wheel suspension. Then there is also the "shame" of driving in your 18s/19s/20s on stock height and performance when you've been dropped.

if anything, you just take your car there, put it on 4 stands, take off the shocks and give them to bilstein to get them fixed
