    I didnt even really see where you were completely bashing All Pro at all :confused: Unless I missed a post or something. It seems like he got offended really quick for some reason. I do have to agree with you for the most part. If 50% say something is good, and 50% say its bad, I am more likely to follow the bad side because why take a chance? Now, some products All Pro carries I would purchase, like the suspension products, but I probably wont go with their armor.

    then get them. I am sure there has to be something you can spray on them to avoid rust. or clean them often...
    you can't be the only eastern guy who wants/has an adjustable coilover out there.

    TO each his own, and maybe it is a East Coast thing, but I have heard plenty of bad things about tehir suspension stuff. Springs sagging, UCAs breaking. I'll stay away. Just trying to keep Freddy from buying stuff he will be unhappy with (he whines like a bitch when his shit ain't right).

    already have one on there :eek:
    all my armor is relentless and prob bud built so no way allpro armor. the only thing from allpro themselve would of been the springs.

    shit pretty much everyone on the east coast has adjustable coilovers.

    I'd like a set too. Never thought about the corrosion on the adjustment threads. Good info and concern.

    i couldn't tell you...these were on a tacoma. i d think they revamped their coilovers a little recenty, because these ones looked like they were made better than ones i have seen in the past.

    just a little tip for any coilover if you're worried about rust and corrosion. whenever i clean the truck, i take some of that spray on wax and use it on the shock body and spring. seems to protect it pretty well, and makes the dirt come off easier after wheeling.

    I agree that we have to just go off of what he hear from reviews. I never thought you were necessarily bashing, but you came off pretty strong like you had personal experience, instead of saying something along the lines of "I have heard that...".

    I'm not here to start a fight either I was just merely asking and pointing it out. You weren't speaking to me but you apparently are now since you have responded to the posts that I have directed towards you. I simply asked a question.

    Yes WE did come out with a new co. 2.5 remote res, and they look pretty sick. Not to familiar with WE though, they were $100 cheaper on allpro's site
