New LCD and ribbon cable to fix my pixel issues on the instrument cluster. Also replaced a couple stepper needle motors that were going out.

replaced the old and worn BC coilovers that it had with a new set of BC coils and what a difference.. just need to dial everything in and she should be golden..

PO lowered the stance by adjusting the pre-load on the coils which I am sure led to the short lifespan of the struts.

Why not just have them rebuilt?

have you priced out a rebuild on coilovers? To me wasnt worth it. you have to consider not only cost, but down time etc.

Hey, mind if I ask how many miles (roughly) they lasted?

I have not adjusted the pre-load on mine, but I'd love to know either way?

I honestly don’t know.. I do know that when I picked her up the coils were rebuilt with new inserts prior to my purchase. How long before I don’t know. But by the condition of the springs and mounts with the level of rust and I’m not speaking surface rust, they had some miles on them..
