Which springs were you using and did anything specific ruin the rears (curb, wall, etc)?
Are the coilovers themselves in good shape or do they need to have some parts replaced?
If parts need replacing, which parts?

I was using the Megan springs that come with the coilovers. After they wore out I upgraded to Swift springs in the rear and I was going to upgrade the fronts as well, but I never got around to it. They wore out from normal wear and tear. AFAIK nothing else is broken or completely worn out on the coilovers. As I stated earlier the front springs show signs of wear and I'd recommend replacing them either with the initial install or not too long after. The shocks and struts are fine, they have 50K on them so once again they won't last forever. Now I don't think Megan officially supports rebuilding their shocks, but I believe the Bilstein shim packs do work with them. I can try and get more pictures of them if you'd like. Probably tomorrow or Friday.
Thanks for the update.
Close up pics (or large format pics) of the shock assemblies and springs would be great. my email address (for big pics) is mobilebyrd at gmail dot com
