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?

Mike

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 !
