What should I do with my old coilovers? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Brzerker · 02-02-2015, 02:41 AM

I recently swapped out my old taiwan coilovers for a more decent suspension set up... So the old set is still sitting in my garage collecting dust. There were squeaky sounds coming from the kit so I can't really sell them with a good conscience.

Just putting it out here for any ideas that what I can do with them. Any ideas welcomed!

Squeaky while on the car or squeaky off the car?

Buy a huge piece of glass and make a coffee table out of them. Use them as the legs of the table.

Then it squeaks every time you lift a drink off the table? lol

I would junk it or see if anyone wants it for free...

or wall decoration in garage.

I've always wondered the same thing when selling older car parts.

I'd just sell them for dirt cheap and say what was wrong with them. Someone will buy them. Maybe even rebuild them.

While on the car, it squeaks like a little bird living in the dampers.

Well..believe it or not, I tried giving it away... No one wants it, guess people are smarter to invest time or even a bit of money to install such a part to their rides

Exactly! I'm not expecting anyone to buy them over from me, so I just might do something with it soon!

Possibly bad pillow ball mounts. Although could literally be a bad seal inside of the dampers.

Make some lamps out of them?
Something like this
