Kido long term review?

[Tierra del Sol]

Hello all. Recently picked up an 04 2wd. Looking at a few upgrades to start. Brakes, braces and coil overs. I read thru most of the Kido threads and see one or two comments after installation. Anybody have a longer term review? Say, six months or a year / 10-20,000 miles?

thanks!

Quite a few Kido Coilovers without any issue since early 2012. There was one incident where the lower shock body separated due to Kido. I have to replace a rear shock due to leaks about 18 months into it.

Well, that's not super comforting. But that was last updated last December.
LA_fx35- you had leaking after 18 months?

what is the warranty? They seemed super responsive, which is great!

12 months warranty, needless to say!

12K miles on my KIDOs and still holding up, whatever CO's you choose I suggest that you pick your spring rates and not go with stock.

From what I've read, it looked like 10/12 was where most daily driver folks were going with rates.
Does that sound right?

10/12 :good:

I will be going with these in a few months....after SC install and Kido BBK

Not Kido's, but I've been running BC's for almost 20K now no issues and I bought them used so total mileage is like 25K. And I run a very high spring rate (from Zebra) 12/14K, shocks handle the high spring rate well.
