Coilover socks

[Greeny.]

Fitting my replacement coils on Friday and wanted to get some socks for the fronts due to winter coming up so no doubt they will get covered in salt n general s**t from the roads, I know ive seen them before but I cannot find any anywhere! Someone help me out please?

Cheers

I would be very interested in this, I cover mine in duck tape over winter, having cleaned them before hand!

After having a quick read around other forums some people are set against it as they trap moisture in and speed up rusting, most are saying to give them a good coat of white grease.

Ill be putting tape over the lower coils that arnt used to cover them up, think I might just cover them all in white grease as well as doing that.

Yeh! FK/H&R/KW all sell the spray.

Just to warn you all, FK "OIL" is actually WD40. No joke.

Just remove them, clean and wax/seal with a few coats and they should be fine once you add the covers. Make sure you seal everywhere that might collect water.

 

[Greeny.]

Gunna get some white grease and cover them in it before I fit them tonight/tomorrow

 

[YorkshireDaz]

What size did you get greeny?

 

[Greeny.]

Not got anything yet, gunna put some grease over them and cover the bottom of the coils in tape for over the winter.

 

[Firas]

white grease is more than sufficient. mines are still like new.
