Coilovers..How long do they last?

Hello, I am getting ready to buy a new suspension and I'm looking for some advice on whats best for me. Im just an everyday normal to work, to school and back driver. I was wondering if coilovers would be a practical alternative for me? Also, how long do coilovers last, specifically the omnipower coil overs. I want a close to stock ride without a lot of noise. And i want something thats going to last longer than 5 years. Thanks for WHOEVER can help me.

Based on your info, TEIN Basics would be your best bet. They will lower the car a reasonable amount and they maintain ride comfort. They are also very high quality and they are rebuildable. They should last about 70-80k before the damper needs to be rebuilt.

It depends on how much you lower it. The only definite way to tell if you need a camber kit is to get an alignment and see how for your camber and toe is off. You will likely at least need the rear kit.

PM me with your vehicle info and what parts you're looking for and I'll get you a quote.
