DONT BUY USED COILOVERS....

I bought these cusco coilovers about 2 years ago from jarco here in g.a.

4 way adjust damp and helper springs all around
I was broke so 400 didnt seem that bad for coilovers
Pretty much in order to actually level the car Im having to adjust the ride height differently on each corner

ex uneven threads to get the ride height right
Now at first I thought it was the over fenders(AIT) all around
its not

what are my options recharging/ using different springs... to freshen em up

Ive heard of QA1'S... 34.99 is cheap
but after looking at jegs.com i dont know what the hell im wanting/needing

my used 240sx broke , dont buy them too.

Seriously, you bought used and lasting 2 year for $400 isnt bad. You could just saved and buy cusco coilover.

And now you're trying to go the cheap route again and "freshen" them up. Just get them rebuilt or get new coilovers. I don't know who rebuilds Cusco so I'd start by calling up some authorized dealers and asking some questions like turn around time and price. Then weigh the pros and cons with getting brand new coilovers.

I love when people cut corners and then seem surprised when it bites them in the ass. Buying used coilovers is like buying a whore at a flea market. You know damn well they've beaten to within an inch of their life already.

Resell them on eBay as broken coilovers and make $200. Put that towards new coils.

I brought some JIC's from a friend and the day I put them on the dampners were shot to hades.. Good thing he gave me some $ back for the deal.:love:
