FOA coilovers?

simpletoy · 02-09-2014, 05:09 PM

What's everyone's thoughts on these coilovers? I checked some reviews from the past and they had problems with blowing the seals but haven't really seen any reviews recently on them? I'm in the market and wondering opinions on coilovers.

The coilovers are ok. Their customer service sucks. I've installed several sets of FOA's and they all have had seal problems. Getting ahold of FOA is a real pain. They like to handle things through email and can take awhile to get back to you. I finally got a phone number from them but they would never answer. Once the seals were replaced they have seemed to hold up okay. Maybe they went with better quality seals. I would spend my money else where just based on customer service alone.

Pro fender seems to be around the same price point as FOA, but with better reviews from what i have seen.
