This follows up a passenger side strut that was leaking oil. I was sent this as a replacment. Its lasted 5,000 miles...

two inches away from having the tire go through the fender flare.
In defense of Ksport, there were two other cars that hit the same unexposed bump. They both had flats, I had a busted coilover. |

I am sorry to see that. That must have been quite a bump in the road. Who did you talk to at Ksport for that replacement?
In all honesty I would have to assume that any aftermarket coilover would snap with that much force. I have seen Teins do the same thing.
Pic of nasty bump? |

| I have generally considered KSports (and Megan Racing) to be the generic sort of parts. Sucks though. How's that ABS line? |

| This just means your wheels and tires are too good. If you'd been on Rotas, the wheel would have snapped and saved your strut. |

sorry to see that. hopefully they'll replace it or refund your money.
yea i still dont understand why people buy ksport or megan. they are on the same level as APC products. For those of you newbie modders, Ksport is an ebay "brand". save a little bit more $ for quality parts. |

k sport is based off of skunk, I wouldnt necessarily call them ebay brand. I bought them honestly for one reason... they matched the paint. :rofl:
I don't drive it often, it just happened to be a bad day. |
