Default Coilover question?

Hi, i have some BC coilovers on MY98 wagon. They have done a little over 1000 miles before the engine went bang My question is as the car is going to be off the road, and has been for a while now(6 weeks). Will the coilovers be affected by not being used?

He is telling you porkies,as he is from Barnsley,You need to send them to me in Rugby (post-paid) then I have to take my Tein's off and put yours on then ride round with yours on 'till you want them back,at this point I change my name/number and move and refuse to give you them back but in the meantime I would of sold my Tein's hired a hooker for the night with the money and done one !
