It’s one of the most common questions we get — and for good reason. If you’re investing in coilovers, you want to know they’ll hold up over time.
The truth is, how long coilovers last depends on three main factors:
-
Materials and build quality
-
Road conditions and driving style
-
Installation and ongoing maintenance
Cheap coilovers often use uncoated steel, poorly sealed dampers, and generic components that don’t stand up to UK weather. After a single winter, threads can seize, collars rust, and ride quality declines fast. In contrast, high-quality coilovers with weather protection and proper damping can easily last 3–5 years — and often much longer with care.
At Stanced UK®, we’ve engineered our coilover kits for long-term use on real UK roads. Every strut is powder-coated, not painted or bare steel. Our dampers are sealed to prevent moisture ingress, and we include dust boots and internal bump stops on every kit — not just the expensive ones.
We also back every coilover kit with a 2-year UK warranty, giving you peace of mind from day one. And if you ever need advice on cleaning, maintenance, or setup — our team is here to help.
So how long do coilovers last? If you buy smart and maintain them, they’ll last years — not months. And with Stanced UK®, you're buying from a team that actually cares what happens after the sale.
