Well, one of my Radflo coilovers is starting to seep, so it's decision time.....rebuild or replace. For context, I bought and had them installed by Mark and his team at Metaltech about 6 years ago and they have been one of the best investments I have made in my GX (beyond normal oil changes).
Rebuilding would require me to have some cheap alternative installed (used 5110's? OEM s from a junk yard??) to get me through the 2-3 weeks of the rebuild. I don;t have access to a garage or the equipment, so this would entail shop time (which is hard to get scheduled).
Replacing would mean that I have to wait out the 12-16 weeks to have them built and shipped from California.
The last option would be to switch to Icon as I can find some rebuilt ones for sale on the forums or buy new from Metaltech/4WP (kidding, would go back to Mark given his support here). I am not sure I really want to switch given how well my Radflos (front and rear) have treated me.
How have y'all tackled this?
Thanks!
