Hey guys Im running Stance Coilovers... Well im gonna pull off my rims this weekend and clean them up. Over all what are some good tips when inspecting my coilovers for wear?

Anything special to look for....?

I'm no expert, but I'd just check for obvious damage like cracks, dents, signs of leakage around the seals.. Then spray it over with some white lithium grease and enjoy!

The main thing to look out for would be any signs of the damper itself leaking. Other than that its pretty straight forward.
If they are real grimy I would wipe them down with an all purpose cleaner, that way if they do start to leak you can easily spot it as new dirt will cling on to the oil.
