dms 40 coilover rebuilt?
 
these coilovers suck. how do i know if they need to be rebuilt?
they are so bumpy.

to tell you the truth i done know if they are 40 mm or 50mm. they are light blue.

i want to raise them but i dont have the wrench to raise them...
where can i find them?


also how long does it take to rebuild them?

i have read about the flaws. will they fix them?

On my DMS 50mm coilovers, I use a pair of big ChannelLock pliers to twist the spring perches.

will that work. i am afraid that i will break something.
do i have to put something like a spacer?
man these squeaky ass coilovers are a back killer

Sell them to someone who will appreciate them and use them as they are intended.

tarak 11-07-2003 03:06 PM

i am using them as intended..... they work great for the track but its on the lowest setting and driving low gets annoying sometimes. the question is where can i get them rebuilt.

you can get them rebuilt and or modified to suite your needs at Lachute subaru (aka dms north america)

you will need to take off the suspension and ship them in for service. Service should be $300-$500 depending on what needs to be done.

in the meantime, if you some teflon impregnated spray lube, you can spray that on the coilovers and that will help keep them working. Any decent bycycle shop will carry something adiquate.

You also should know that there is an outlet in Texas now called DMS Americas they are an authorised distributor for USA. They are located in Austin, TX. They can also repair your 40mm or 50mm.
