if someone wants to put this in the How To, go ahead, i figure it would be better suited here.

ive got a lot of ppl asking how i made this, im not looking to make money like everyone else, just want everyone to make their own if they want.

these are the only other pics i have of the fabric i used.

just go to walmart pick up some durable black fabric, or whatever color you want. then get some plastic fabric that is thick, and waterproof. stitch the waterproof fabric on the inside and place a line of velcro along the side of the square to make sure it stays closed.
i also made a hole at the top/bottom like sweat pants have for a string so i can tie them closed and guarantee they dont open.

works great and they never let any dirt in/water yet.

to keep the squeaks away.....

as for greasing. i just grease around the bottom of the spring, and the top of the spring where it touches the spring perches. that helps to prevent squeaking. if you can take them apart to do it, even better.
if you take proper care of your coilovers, you shouldn't have the same problems everyone else is having. they are higher maintenance and ppl think you can just slap them on and forget about them. thats why everyones is rusted to shit and half of the components dont even move.






After a long time with the cover on, they are still mint. all you can see is a bit of dust on the top of the spring
