I would also Contact Terry at Fortune Auto, he's a great guy and got me taken care of when I had issues with the top mounts.

Also: I have the Version 3 set of 500s loaded with swifts. They're not bad. More comfortable than my Tein SS or GroundControl/Eibach kit that came on the car. I can deal with them daily, but I feel a bit embarassed when I put other people in the car... Especially women, cuz they're soft...

Helped my friend swap 510s into his EvoX GSR, no lie, they were more forgiving than his stock sping/struts (not the Bilstein mind you), and I have a sensitive back side. Those were the Version 4s tho. Make no mistake, these guys are serious about suspension, and they back it up with good service.

And the binding noise you hear is normal. Add a bit of preload & it should go away. If that doesn't work, order the thrust bearings that Fortune Auto sells. And while you're at that, go ahead & add the said amount of preload that Fortune says you should add.

Well, since this has been bugging me, I finally decided to take the coils off and check them out. These coilovers have only been used between 8/2/2012 and 10/12/2012 at the time of this post. The side that has been giving me trouble (front pass), is indeed blown. The shock tube will compress all the way down, and does not come back up. Awesome.
