I know they're 14 years old, and have 120,000kms on them (ie. past their
useful life) but they're being replaced by full height/damper adjustable
coilovers in the next 3-4 months so I'm not overly worried about how long
they last, I'd just like to see if it makes an improvement to handling
seeing as I drive a nice winding road to and from work every day so I get to
test the car twice a day (and myself) :)
