MIK020 that is not BTM coilovers... I have checked for reviews itself and nothig is showing for that model... as far I can tell/look the spring rate appears to be 8-12 weight...

if you can maybe take more pics of the coils overall so we can actually check what mode and model it is.

Thanks

EDIT***

you have DTM coilovers.. Japanese company and appears to be good qaulity coilovers... as I checked for reviews... I think the company might be dead for some time casue no one has heard nor knows about the brand itself... apparently it was originally for BMW/VW cars

ok will do so i guess the previous owner has done the dodgy on me again lol

and for your question... no the ripped rubber wont affect performence to the piston itself.. however i would suggest to replace it and it will wear down alot quicker which will fragile the springs without support

ok cool might have a look around and see if i can get parts for it

Fulcrum Suspension in QLD do a lot of coilover rebuilds.

Cool thanks I don't think they need a complete rebuild it just looks like the top mount rubbers are cracking lol
