yeah, there's not much to this story. just a little piece of shitty manufacturing at its best...

the best part...

they won't be warranty returned because the eibach sportlines dropped like 1.8-2" in the front and that voids the drop warranty, which voided the rest of the warranty. so even if this part (the shock rod up by the camber plate) broke and had nothing to do with how dropped the car was, i cannot get a warranty on the broken piece of shit that has just been thrown upon your eyes.

oops, my bad...this post would not be complete without...


EYE HART KAY WHY BEE///EYYYYYYYYEBAKKSSSZZZ

How long have you had them in and what did you put the strut nut on with?

dizzak :eek3:
If you tightened the nut down with a air gun them most likley you over torqued it which weakened it.

I've only seen that from over toruqing and curbage. The warranty issue is with blowing them out from the travel on lowered cars. How long is the warranty good for?
