Coilover lifespan?
Hey guys I am looking to buy some Tein HA's and a guy has some with 14k miles on them. Should I be looking away because they are too old? How much more life do you think that they have?
Thanks,

If we are going to auto-x then life will be less.
Also not that the Tein HA are made of painted steel and will rust.
