If that happened to me I wouldn't sleep until I had K-sport pay for ALL of the damages. They would be very lucky to get off that easy and have such minimal damages to pay for when you could have pretty easily lost your life had the circumstances been slightly different. Don't take no for an answer. That is completely unacceptable. What if you had a kid(s) in the car?

Glad to see your okay. Keep us posted on how KS handles the situation.

 

Thats sucks man... glad your OK though.

Did that thing cut your brake line when it separated itself? Looks like fluid all over the place...

 

Thanks and i will be in the market for some new suspension soon

Ya i have 2 kids this is my 4-door family car and i had just dropped my daughter off. Ill be calling k-sport tomorrow Ill keep everyone posted on what they say.

The fluid is the shock oil. The brake lines look ok and the brakes still work.

 

omnipower had issues where te bottom of the struts would break where it bolted to the lower control arm, but that was years ago and on hondas.......may just have been some crummy alumnium, that wasnt checked before mfng.......hope thay help you with your issue.

 

Phew, glad you are ok.

I just swapped out my "cheapo" coilovers and returned to KYB/Swift combo. After seeing this, it makes me feel a lot more comfortable, I'm sure I made the correct choice.

 

dude that's scary, get the PSS9's, best coilover for street/spirited driving EVER! at least that's what I think

 

I've seen jics do that on subys.

 

OK i called today and they are sending me a replacement strut for the 1 that broke and a brand new revised set. This way i can sell 1 set and keep the cash and he is gonna get back to me on whether or not he can also cut me a check to help cover the damage. Now i just want to say they are really nice to deal with. I know i could have got more out of them but i just wanted my car fixed and fixed quickly.

 

im glad you got what was entitled to you! probably they knew if they didnt they would have been in even bigger trouble (lawyers lol) but glad that you and your family are ok and that no serious damage was done.

 

Interesting. If it was me I would send you out a new set and ask you to send all of the old ones back in to test, or if you aren't going to test them at least to make sure that this doesn't happen again in the case that another one of the set is defective.

I would still push to have them replace your lip and your fender liner, I believe that would be a smart move by them for PR and to avoid a lawsuit. It is good to hear that they have been initially cooperative. It is creepy to hear your daughter was just in the car and the way it broke, it could have happened at any time under any circumstance.

 

GL, hope you get it covered. Give me a reason to go with stock suspension and upgrade springs instead of coil.

 

yeah GL man.

 

They don't want them back cause they already totally revised them.

 

holy crap hell... I seen coilovers failing @ the track like the JIC but not in normal DD ... must get rid of my megans and get something good.. like teins and tanabe ! lol

 

Not all coils are designed and engineered the same...
