Default Coilovers

just a quick question how long do coilovers usually last? I've come across a nice set of coilovers which have done abit of K's and was just wondering if it was worth it to get them.

cheers

You can service them if they are little shagged. Wilkinson service most popular brands.

How long's a piece of string?

Seriously, depends on brand, history of use etc, etc
For example I had a set of DMS 40 on my MY02 STi (now Brent's Rexploit) pretty much from new and on sold them to a mate when I traded the car at 70+ k's. They had a minor service and are still on his MY00 almost 4 years later...and going strong...
If the 'nice set" you've seen are a reputable brand and have ben looked after they should be OK, but if they're China Spec or similar I would look elsewhere...
