Performs well but the dampers don't seem to last very long. They wear out at around 2yr mark. I'm on the same set of coils but 3rd set of dampers in 6yrs.

BC should be better though, i've seen many people using it

 

I have used BC for more than 2 years and they were still working after that mark.

 

Dampers can be serviced for BC.

agreed. They all wear out in 2 years or so.

Dampers can be serviced for BC.

 

Every part in BC can be changed, Dampers, Springs, Pillowball mount, etc.

 

But after 2 years most parts are meant to fail. So even if they can be changed, is it worth the money to change one item at a time?

 

Do the math. It is probably worth changing to a whole new set of coils after 2 years.

I using KWv2. After 2 years (and under 30k) , one of the front dampers also up lorry. Had to change entire front set for about 40% cost of a new full set. Now hoping rears don't go....

I'm using D1 Spec on my 1.5 ton car for the past 2 years. Should be almost 40,000km already.

 

Still no problem. But I'm crossing my fingers already since its well-know that coilovers don't last much longer than 2 years.

 

Price is not expensive, so I don't mind to change back to new D1 Spec. Just that I find it troublesome to go down the workshop at Ubi.
