Coilovers made from stainless steel will withstand winter + salt driving conditions. Good coilovers are specifically engineered to deal with all annual season changes.

I hear ya, still want springs. I've had coilovers on two other cars and i ended up adjusting them in the long run to the height of other cars on springs. Its not the coin, its the simplicity of springs/shocks, less moving parts.

Again, will be doing shocks and springs.
I think i have it narrowed down to H&R Sports for x-drive or ACS/Dinan for RWD applications. I would really like to hear from other members on how the fitment is on the RWD ACS or Dinan springs on an x-drive car.
thanks for the response cfm56d7b |
No worries. Just glad to offer another perspective to a fellow enthusiast.
Stock, softer shocks with lowering, stiffer springs is the least attractive combination. Selecting different shocks together with new springs is a better option. Good luck!
