should i be worried that the aluminum dampers wouldnt be as durable as the steel ones? i understand our cars are double wish bone so there isnt that much stress on the shock anyways, is that correct?

Rusty

The coilovers are not load bearing per say. Just have the springs on them. Just make sure the double nuts on the bottom of the springs are tight.

I won’t be installing, I’ll have the shop install them. Making sure the double nuts on the bottom are tight don’t have anything to do with the dampers being aluminum right?

Rusty

Well the tubes are threaded for the spring adjustment. If the lock nut is tight. You don't have anything to worry about. You will have more than enough threads for contact for the load.

That is right. What I’m asking is the aluminum as durable as the steel in terms of bending?

also even if I got the steel dampers I would have to make sure the double nut at the bottom is tight right?

i have the choice to switch still

Rusty

You're not going to bend them. They're not a MacPherson strut, which is load bearing.
