6112 coil powdercoat failure

talked to bilstein, said normal wear and tear. so...not gonna worry about it unless the coil snaps. then ill worry.

 

that sucks oh well

 

You really should properly soak the springs in hot soapy water, scrub with a soft brush, and then spray off. Then come back with pictures of the clean springs.

 

its a dead issue, already spoke to bilstein

 

yeah, haha, but we will see. im going to keep an eye on it.

 

Dang, I don't view that as wear and tear, seems to be a defect in the coating, I probably wouldn't be super concerned about it either though, just kind of a bummer.

 

Heres my eibach coils after 5 years, i spit shined a spot still looks like new under the dirt.

 

Haha, so helpful! Good post, god bless.

 

Oil leak ?

 

cleaned the coils off better. doesnt looks as bad. look like dirt got in some hairline stress cracks in the powder. probably happens on all coils but just more noticeable on black. (silver you wouldnt see shit).bilstein also said their powder on coils is two layers.

 

No thats spit

 

update- bilstein did me a solid and sent new coils. ill be putting them on soon

 

GOOD ON THEM! Every tile saw I ran to death...the FIRST thing that failed was the powder coat.

 

Do you realize, that you will die before they do?

 

huh???

 

Never mind...........

 

I would hold on to new ones until the old ones are totally trashed, IMO.

 

thats actually what ive decided to do. i like the way you think
