I would not put that into one of the benefits of coil-overs.  We have a
Toyota Land Cruiser that is finally starting to have some miles on it.  The
regularity with which the coils fail (at $115 each) is not making it a
terribly cheaper alternative.  Also, the way that they fail - suddenly,
without warning and immediately disabling a cylinder - is not at all like a
gradual decline you might get with the older system, which usually warns you
so you can replace components.  My experiences are not unique; this is
pretty common with even the best-designed coil-over systems.
