    Would you guys run Coilovers in your car if you were to use it year round? Or would it be better to just get new struts? I’m in a 2011 wrx with lowering springs on stock struts. My struts are blown and I’m looking for new ones

    Depends where you live and how much preventative maintenance. I had the same set of coilovers on my jetta for 5 years but they really weren't adjustable anymore due to corrosion. I never cared about adjusting them so it wasn't really an issue

    They will no longer be adjustable after a winter...or even less.
