Default My Omnipower Full Coilvers Broke yesterday

So I purchased a set of Omnipower Full Coilovers Sports from Kteller about a year ago. Had everything professionally installed and it rode nice untill yesterday. I was on my way home and all of sudden the passenger side began making a loud scrapping noise. I figured maybe it was the fender lining rubbing against the tires. So I drove slow all the way home and today I jacked up the car and took out the tires and found this.







I mean they rode excellent up untill yesterday, I had no complaints at all. I think i've read somewhere on ht, that omni changed out the lower collar for a thicker one of their newer models? Sucks for me. I emailed this to Kteller and tried calling omni, but I think they're closed.. so I sent them an email also. Should I still be covered for a replacement? Or refund?

haha, you say that in every post. But they had good write ups when I bought them. A good buddy of mine had it on his teg before i bought mine, and he loved his. I guess you can't trust reviews, going name brand from now on

you problanle got one of the sets that were manufactured wrong, call omni up and they should take care of you.

the problem was that the manufacturer that machined the lowere cup milled out to much meat from the cup. it was suppose to have 10mm of metal, but i believe they milled them o like 1-2mm

Yes, you will be covered. Just send him your information as he asked. I think they honestly felt they had found all of these by now.
