So how long do aftermarket shocks with drop springs last???
How much you think it cost to get those Tein Coilovers rebuilt? My first time buying suspension so i wanna do it right. As for bearings...i hear there are bearing kits for your suspension. Is this something that needs to be changed?? If they are worn down, cracked and that sort...can it damage your car??

Also i am going to get a camber kit..but i was told that i don't need a camber kit for the back because it's rear wheel drive and because it's a straight drive shaft since the engine is up front. Makes sense...is it true??
