my brother recently purchased a set of nex gt coilovers for his 07 civic sedan

we installed them along with a skunk2 rear camber kit

after maybe 3 thousand miles the drivers front strut snapped in half. the actual rod in the center of the strut snapped in half just under the gold top piece(see picture)

i dont have an actual picture right now of the broken strut but in the picture shown its one of the left side ones and it snapped just under the gold piece on the top



just giving you guys a heads up.

its a good thing this happened a block from home and not out on the freeway.

can you imagine if this had happened on the interstate 5 in california during rush hour? i can guarantee that people would be seriously injured and maybe even dead.

 

damn good thing you are ok...thats why i don trust that many manufacturers

 

thanks for the heads up
never even heard of NEX

they've actually been around for quite a while. my friend had a h22 acura cl back in 2000 and he had one piece nex suspension and it worked awesome. i was told recently that they are made by the same manufacturer that makes "ADR" rims. i had to frown upon that.

 

Nex is and always has been crap... Now you know.

 

When I had my DB8, I had a set and Thing was bouncy as hell, Had shop I bought them from exchange asap for D2 which rode better.

 

hahahahahahaha i posted up a thread bout it,and was gonna purchase some,NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!

 

damn that sucks. see what happens when you take shortcuts on your car, **** goes to hell.

 

I know one of the reasons Koni is not coming out with their struts at the moment is becase they are not satisfied with the stampings for the actual strut bodies. They want their assemblies to hold up to race and daily use so things don't snap and break.

Kind of makes you think twice when companies bring out coilovers before reputable companies like Koni, Tokico, and KYB do.

that's hilarious.

reading comprehension is not one of his strong points maybe.

i too never heard of nex. it's crazy how they look like omni's

 

yeah NEX and OMNI do look alot alike... check out this link.. it's amazing how many people's stuff is made by the same chinese companies (not saying this is NEX or OMNI, but looks similar)

damn taiwan is getting everyone for their money.

 

If its not Eibach, Tein, or Comptech... Its probably not worth it IMO. Progress and Neuspeed maybe okay, not much exp with those suspensions.

 

progress was my first set of lowering springs. i thought they were bad at the time..they weren't that great. i was young though.

 

I love my eibach springs and will be pairing them up with Koni Yellows as soon as I find $625 laying around somewhere

Glad everybody who was involved with this incident is fine otherwise this company could have a major problem on their hands.
