    Coilover Covers - Are they worth it? Winter is coming...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    With winter coming up, I was curious on your guys take on Coilover Covers. With winter coming up here in Northern VA, I was looking to buy a pair. From videos online I've seen--they seem to work in keeping them clean from debris and salt.

    Was curious on your take and if you have a sleeve/cover you'd recommend (and length). And what I've seen is they're sold in pairs. Do we only cover the front Coilovers or also the rear too?

    What I do every year while swapping to my winter set of wheels is scrub the threads clean with a wire brush and add a light coating of t9 boeshield. Haven’t ever felt the need for covers with this process

    Shock gators are great... run these year around over coil-overs to extend life of seals. Ideal for nothern winters, IMO.

    That's what I am thinking!

    Do I need them for the rear shock and springs too? Or just the fronts?

    Both. The rears see as much or more crud than the fronts.

    Thanks for clarifying! Was confused as they were only sold in pairs.

    I see that ISC is having a sale on their website. https://iscsuspension-na.com/store/C...vers-c11995043

    What size should I buy for front and rear? Same size all around? Or is one smaller than the other? Their options area pair at 300MM and 370MM. What size or sizes should I order? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
