Its all luck of the draw though. I also know people who has had theirs on their cars for 3+ years without issues.

get what i'm trying to say?
decide what you want to do with your car. research about it, then research components. and dont count the "tein ftw" as valid results (no offense to you D17alltheway) b/c they dont imply any valid feedback about any component.
and op, many ppl are running different spring rates, heights, and dampers with the ground control setup. if your referring to the sleeve and lock collar itself, id say they are very good quality materials

There was no track work at all on my part or abuse. Like I said, I'm not the only one experiencing this issue so just because mine and others had their koni's blow and yours didn't, doesn't mean me nor the others had abused the parts.




On 16'in Advan SA3R's with 225/45/16 Hankook RS-2's on GC/Koni's. Don't go assuming or bash on any other people that you know nothing about. Take you and your e-thugging attitude elsewhere.
