| coilover blew, HELP!
so one of my rear coilover blew, the bottom needs to get re welded and re oiled. I dont have the original papers cause i bought them used so no warranty with the manufacture, dont have the money to buy a new set of coilovers yet. any good shops you guys had experience with that did a good job? I have no idea where to start.
thx

What brand of coil-overs and for which car would be a good starting point.
S or the Civic?

Wait... do you need the coil welded or part of the physical mount itself?
If it's the coil, don't do it... :s

Wow, crummy deal.
I would start by contacting Endless Zeal first. They are known for their awesome warranty and rebuild policies.

Zeal USA - Pay for it to get fixed. I wouldn't trust ANY local shops to do something the manufacturer can do RIGHT.
