busted struts
 

I just installed some adjustable coilovers on my 98 prelude, they have only been on there 4 days and I already have 2 busted struts, what would be the reason for this? Is tokico a good brand for replacement? I just need some advice on if I should replace them with the same type of strut, or buy some aftermarket ones?

What type of coil-overs are they? Tokico's are good... KYB AGX's are good too.

I guess you get what you pay for, they are just some cheap knock off's!

If you kept the stock damper and some coil-over springs and lowered it a bit then the damper will be compressed more than normal.
The seals wear out fast as hell then its time for new dampers. I heard KYB's are good and koni-yellow/red dampers. Maybe eibach for springs.

The shocks busted becuase its OEM and it can't handle the higher springs rates of the adjustable coilovers. Get some performance gas shocks to handle the coilovers.
