Default Buddy Club N+ Adjuster Broke...

So I was adjusting the dampeners on my Buddy Club's for my EK, and the allen head adjuster snapped off. I drove around on factory setting for about 6 months, coilovers are about 1 year old. I wanted to be a little bit stiffer, so I tightened 3 of the 4 coilovers 4 clicks. When I got to this rear, passenger one, I had 3 clicks, and on the 4th one, the head snapped off. There was no tension or resistance, and it wasn't hard, it was just brittle and snapped a clean head off. I've never heard of this, and I'm pretty pissed at the price of them, so I was wondering if there's anything to do about it? Thanks.

Well I love the coilovers, hadn't had a problem until now, and at roughly $250 a piece, I figured they wouldn't break as they did... Did you have any problems?
