Default H&R coilover question -- how long are they covered?
I've been lucky so far... shocks are still
in one piece... but the rears are blown...

i'm planning on putting the stock suspension back
in for a little while...

since i'll have the coilovers out, can i just
send em to H&R and have em check to see if
the parts are within spec?
if so, would anyone with the info mind emailing
me the addy and/or contact person to send em to...
TIA

Default I believe it's a lifetime warranty, but I don't think they'll "just check em out for you" for free.

lifetime, you call them, they send you replacements, you send blown back.

I think you still have to pay a $50-70 deductible per shock

Do you need a reciept to file a warranty claim? Or do you just send them in.

I'm curious: How many miles on your H&Rs before trouble, and what kind of driving do you do?

Default about 15k hard miles... car began feeling very loose...
the rear bounces a lot more than my friend's
cars who have the same suspension when i
push on the trunklid, and the rear suspension
squeeks too...
also, the front is reallllly soft... bottoms
out too often.
I could be wrong, the suspension *might* still
be good, but i don't think it is.

also, i live in the NY metro area... if i
lived in an area with flat roads like
FL, they would probably be in much better shape.
