Are you ready to have them rebuilt every so often? (tein charges 100 per coilover for basic rebuild).

Just to be clear, the ability to rebuild is a positive, not a negative!
The stock struts are also COIL springs OVER mcpherson Struts and in all Subaru instances I am aware of, cannot be rebuilt!!! They must be replaced or have the tops cut off and have lower capacity small main shaft inserts installed for much more than $100!!!
All dampers fail over time!!! Inverted mono shocks need to be lubed and/or rebushed occasionally at a much lower cost than rebuild.
