Does anyone know if coilovers will get wrecked by driving with them in the winter? Or will there be no problem with doing this? ---

just incase you should take them off so they dont rust and seize up , nothing wrong with stockers in the winter as the ride is alot better…coilovers are too much$$ to wreck them in the winter ---

ESPECIALLY Teins … take them off … you wont be doing any agressive road racing in the winter … rather put the stock ones and have the extra height and travel for all the ruts and snowbanks … ---
