here's a pic of my coilover after a winter of not cleaning it, its full body aluminum too.



the threads are supposed to be gold in color, but the salt turned them white . All that got cleaned off by just using wd-40 and a brush, if you coat the threads before they see salt then it'll be even easier cleaning them.

why do people think 36 way adjustable is overkill? It can be 1000-way for all I care. The more amount of adjustability there is, the more you can fine tune it to your own needs. Sure maybe you won't feel a different from 20-21 setting, but you may from 20-22 and you can fine tune it a lil more to be softer or stiffer

I agree, but I don't really know what all goes into the racing coilovers. I'd imagine it'd be more pieces to adjust versus 10000000 clicks on a single piece....more shit to break.

I would like to know this as well. I know gas doesn't make a loud thumpin noise during winter, oil does b/c it gets thick from the cold

every shock has oil in it, pressured gas keeps the oil from getting air bubbles in it during the compression and rebound strokes. About the adjustability issue, on most shocks people use on the street you are only adjusting the rebound, so you can't really fine tune the whole shock, your only tuning a part of it.
