    Bilstein 6112s and OMEs will wear out faster than the higher-end 2.5" coilovers if you wheel them. The weld joint connecting the shock body to the bushing eyelet is also a weak point for these designs:

    I understand the "quality" isn't the same, but the replacement cost is also less. If I break a Bilstein or an OME shock, I can replace them much cheaper.

    the beauty is that you don't have to replace the higher end ones. you replace a low end one, and repair a high end one. those two costs are very similar.

    That's a good point. I'm probably going to bite the bullet soon and order the coilovers. .

    Problems are my main concern here. I'd pay more money for fewer problems!
