one of my coilovers is leaking , does anyone know if spax service them for you and how much it is , the ride on them is real bumpy , it also has powerflex bushes all at the front so that would also not help ,

got a new back bumper already , gonna rip all the body kit of and put it back to standard i think , i just spoke to the kid who done all the mods and he said they are 2 years old , so they wont have no warranty ,

They might have a 3 year warranty though???

Ring them anyway, and tell them they're only 2 years old and surely they shouldn't fail after 2 years.

If they wanna be picky when you ring them, and you can find a receipt with a date on it, see if its just under 2 years though, its always worth a try i guess.

its a spax feature from several people i know who run them. repeated failures of seals for some reason.

not my personal choice for dampers, but some get on fine with them. luck of the draw maybe.

What would you recommend bill as a replacement for these but without breaking the bank lol

Would it cost lots to get the seal replaced until i can afford some KW's or something?
