Hi guys,
Have the coilovers off the car a while now and although one side is free and moving, the other is ruined (ring itself ruined)
Ive hsd a pipe wrench (stilsons) on it and it just wont budge, is there anywhere you can buy such things or would they have to be custom?

I wouldn't be overly keen on spending any more money on such a budget pari of coilovers
what do you want to replace? Just the ring? Presume they're pretty standard in size / thread - someone must make them

It's both locked solid & chewed up to heck.
Yeah I agree, dont want to spend anything on them but i bought them cheap so wouldn't mind just to do me for some cheap lows again.
I might email TA but would rather buy local and I cba drawing up a part to be machined as they'd cost a fair bit I'd say.

To be fair I bought some ta ones for £25 local to me to get cheap lows. One broke. I put some cheap springs in some genuine pug shocks off a low mileage one. Best thing I ever did. Would love to get b8s now. Never back to coilovers. So uncomfy. Maybe I'm getting old.
