Thanks guys I saw both of your posts about them ... 3KGT2NV, your
thread and Turbo Powered, your
post where you bought them off Alfred.

the subi may have had one that was defective. im guessing the strut broke on the spin out and if thats the case it was prob the effect of the sideways pressure of the spin out that did it.
expect dj4play to jump in with negitive input since they bash jic all the time

I did see dj4play's posts before but from researching and reading Ralliart's posts too, they aren't rebadged Korean or Chinese stuff and really are quality Japanese coilovers.
On NASIOC, if you read that thread, the strut blowing out seems to not just be a one-time thing. Several people reported to have experienced the same issues. I am unsure of any design changes between our platform and theirs and thus was curious to see if we had anything similar ever happen.

Philip had a set, wore them out (damping decreased he said), but I don't think he had any problems with them otherwise.

What was the leak from? How do you like them?
Did Philip replace his set with something different?
