With used coilovers are there are anything important to take care of before installing? [TEIN HA coilovers]
i.e. pillowball grease? Threads on the shock body?

How should i clean them? anything i should watch out for before cleaning?

Thanks.

Clean them. Not much else you can do.

Additional question.... How about antiseize on the threads on the shock? Good idea or not?

why not just rebuild them while they're off the car?

if it works, not a bad idea at all.

i bent four spanner wrenches trying to adjust height when it was colder.

asumming you got them alrdy, if your going to rebuild them consider selling them and getting new coilover because HA rebuild are 240 for all four. WHat you pay for and another 240 would of got yourself a new set.:bigok:
just my 2 cent:coolugh: MIB

i would love to rebuild them but to be honest i dont want to go through the hassle of waiting for turn around time and etc... 250 is cheap but thats probably not including shipping there and back and they arent especially light. i think they costed me like 70 to get shipped not to mention they were sent in some poor packaging job.

i say no need to rebuild yet if theres no signs of leaks on the coils just yet, i bought my gab sport revo stroke II`s almost a year ago and still no leaks! (i check once a month)

seriously...why rebuild if they aren't leaking?!

Its not like they are hard to install...takes what, 30 minutes to remove all 4...
