Do coilovers outlast factory suspension or will have to be replaced eventually?

In prep for the install I wanted to know if there was anything else you changed or refreshed on your suspension when installing coilovers (endlinks, control arms, etc.)? Is anything else really necessary? I was reading lately endlinks may need to be changed to adjustable when lowering but some say its not needed. I want to be prepared when I talk to my mechanic on Friday when I am getting my B14's installed. What did you set the ride height to? |

For the end links with Bilstein you can keep them stock they are at same height/location. I don't recall what it was set to in terms of milliliters. I kinda just winged it. In the manual it gives you some kind of measurement... but man oh man I couldn't understand how it was supposed to be used in person. Maybe your mechanic who is someone actually like, has mechanical knowledge might know what they meant but I couldn't. Bilstein say it's the optimal or like a good height baseline to adjust within. One thing to note though is your height will drop a little bit more over the next few weeks before it eventually settles. I'm sorry I don't know how much it is but it's one thing to keep in note before doing an alignment right away and thinking your height is all set. Like in my rear I had a nice fitment but after 3 days my tires kept rubbing and rubbing over small bumps so had to get it a slightly higher. |
