Default How do you know if you need new coilovers?

My suspension is screwed up badly. I need new struts all around, new upperballjoints/control arms, new front wheel bearings, and prolly lower balljoints. I have 175k on a 96 accord ex which i'm planning on keeping since i like the car and its finally paid off. Should i go ahead and put new coilovers in? How can I tell if they are bad?

Sounds like you need alot of other stuff before you need new coilovers.

But to answer your question: you know you need new coilovers if the ones on the car were ordered from Ebay.

I'll be getting some KYB gr2 struts all around. Guess I could lower it an inch since I'll have to get those put on.
