unless you are using servicable absorbers, you can get the service guy to revalve the shocks to match the springs/coils.Originally posted by ftzone@Mar 2 2005, 12:36
it depends on the coil springs quality and make.
Eg. HotBits Coil Springs comes with a 5 yrs warranty (if i'm not mistaken) therefore I believe it would last at least 7yrs before a replacement is due. Way longer than the shock absorbers. However it is subjected to usage.. such as carrying heavier loads at most time will reduce it's ability to perform. One more thing that these coil springs once 'bedded in' with your absorbers it's best that u dun take it out and store the springs elsewhere for a long period of time. Thats why 2nd hand springs are usually not compatible with your absorbers.
I took this information mostly from the web and my mechs advice.
Cheers.
