Nothing to lose? except the safety of the vehicle and your life. But hey, he saved $800

and thats worth it...

^ Nothing to lose when he throws them away if he doesnt like it

give me one story youve heard when suspension has failed. is the shock gonna completely separate while ur driving? springs is gonna fly right out?

shady3one3 · 10-11-2009, 03:20 PM

There are threads all over the place about cheap shocks failing...shearing from their mounting points, falling apart and exploding,etc.

it was actually my fault. installation error.... everytime. yeah, i'm an idiot.

haha.

LAWL so are you saying that the only negative experience you have had with these so far is due to installation error? How many miles have you put on them now? After looking around im yet to hear bad things about these coils. Please keep updated tho and if anyone else gets these post too lol

yup it was completely installation error on his part. the coils have been good to everyone ive talked to thus far, including raj

E36Eric · 10-14-2009, 01:26 AM

These coils are so cheap because there's no R&D behind them. Good luck, fellas. Hope it works out for you guys.

alibusoul · 10-14-2009, 01:55 AM

Im almost pissed since I just dropped a grand on ST/KW V1 coilovers, but I think for me the $800 is nothing, knowing that I my coils are from a reputable company. I hope these work out for you though... I'll know what to drop my 2nd e46 on!

volcom8190:
heres another example, as everyone knows i had a set of DDM coilovers fail about 3 miles after install, this was the result, if the roof had collapsed any further id be dead/paralized.......stay far away from their crap.

I was so close to a lawsuit it wasn't even funny, but because i installed it myself i had no grounds according to my lawyer.

one of these days ill take pictures of the horribly mangled front strut that failed, the inside of the welds look like a 5 year old welded them, I can do a better job and i barely have any experience.

needless to say the M3 is getting ASTs of some sort

Damn.
