Coilovers

Closed post - found the feedback I needed.

Bought ST XTA Coilovers after reading what RMP posted about them holding up over winters (used Rust protection spray).

Please share your protection method as I will be doing the same.

Same, I'm due to replace the stock suspension this year. I just remembered, I don't even drive the car in the winter.

Where'd you purchase them?

Ali-E90 · 06-27-2020, 12:39 AM

I went with KW as they are weather proof with a lifetime warranty.

Will have RMP install and use their suggested rust proofing. They assured me (along with other reviews I saw which corroborated their statement) that the coils will hold up just fine as long as they're sprayed with rust protection.

Purchased my brake pads (hawk hps 5.0), coils (ST XTA) and wheels (Apex ARC 8s) from honeycomb motorsports.

Sahib helped me out and I cannot recommend him enough.

Price matched consistently or offered me the most competitive price. Only thing I didn't buy through him was my stainless steel brake lines (N54 tuning) which messed up my order lol but I am dealing with that at the moment. I did have a good experience with N54tuning before so I am not going to bash them.

I have st coilovers 2 winters so far. I have rmp oil them before the winters and they do fine. Only thing I found with them in the winter is that they are a bit stiff when you first drive them in the morning for the first 5 minutes, once the car is at operating temperature it is fine .
