Re: New vs. Used Suspension

[Jim Buck <vwpride@mixi.net>]

You are a wise man David for asking first, before you spend bookoo
dinero on parts you don't want and don't work.  I feel you can't go
wrong with Bilstein HD or Koni yellow struts...front only if you're on a
tight budget (get the rears later).  They're worth every penny, and
Bilsteins will last about 5 years (YMMV) and Koni's come with lifetime
warranty.  Then you can make better choices concerning changing springs
and adding (or removing) swaybars.  IMHO   Jim

>Hello all,I just had a question about suspension components. I noticed alot of people here and in other places on the web selling use sway bars,anti-roll bars, springs and the like. My question is if I were to purchase some of these parts would they last for awhile or would they "wear out". Do these parts tend to weaken after a while. I am looking to get my car on the road soon and want it to perform well. I don't want to race it right off the bat but maybe eventually.
