FS: Whiteline Group 4 Coilovers
I have a set of Whiteline Group 4 (G4) Coilovers for sale.
Here's the catch though, these are not going to be able to be used in their current state for anything more than spare parts. These would require some new parts (shock body) in order to make them fully functional again as it looks like these have damage to the interior of the shock body on at least 2 (possibly all 4). If someone would like to take the time and money to get the replacement parts then these could be an excellent setup for someone to use. While Whiteline themselves may or may not have replacement components, they did base these off of AST Coilovers which do have replacement components available.
Asking $450 Shipped OBO.

I haven't tried sourcing the parts yet.
The strut body has a slight wave (ripple) on the inside of them for the two that were pulled apart by Performance Shock ( http://www.performanceshock.com/ ) when I sent them in to be rebuilt ( Thomas is who was working on these when I sent them in for the rebuild ). Since this is a monotube design the shock body needs to be smooth or else it can affect the performance of the piston when it is traveling up and down. The ripple seemed to correspond to where the collars were tightened down (i.e. the collars were probably over tightened thus causing the internal damage). Also the piston on one of the struts looked like it might be slightly scuffed (probably from rubbing over the rippled part of the strut). That would most likely need to be replaced as well. Those are the things that I know of being problematic (hence the reason these are for sale for so cheap).
