I've seen valves wear out faster than i would consider normal. Getting a rebuilt was a pain in my ass but that was years ago. I bought a used set of Tein HA's for my mkiv the same week a co worker picked up a set of new megans for his s13. he would poke fun of me for my right rear squeaking occasionally but 8 months later he already had a blown shock and 2 squeakers where mine seemed to have stooped making noise. now this is not the most fair comparison but i saw my share of these coilovers most S chassis cars and they were always the most dilapidated. they seem to be good when you first put them on but just don't last long. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks to get something that will last.
