Well, I went to mess around with my FFs today and guess what...God dang passenger coil is leaking oil already....I'm so mad They've been on the car for two weeks. Never again will I buy something that is made in Taiwan. Getting the JICs fixed and back onto the car then the FFs are for sale or they are going in the garbage can. Also began hearing a bad clunking / grinding noise when I turn my wheel left or right and only when the wheels is turned about half way going over bumps / dips...what I found is due to poor engineering, the metal bracket that hold the brake lines in the front is way to long and hits the inner wheel well and gets bent and scratched all the poo... Freaking garbage that is made now a days.

It actually bent itself froward. I put the oem front sway bar links and it did not go lower for me remained at the same height. Dont know how you guys went lower!

^wow, that blows, literally

get it covered under warranty, they usually send out the replacement first, no reason not to get it replaced, sounds like a legit claim

the way F&F coils are made, they only need to send you the shock "cartridge" not a whole new coil, ive done my research on them and plenty of people have had good luck with F&F's warranty

BTW, just FYI, im sure you got the tape measure with the coils, well, i peeled off the top sticker on the tape measure, and underneath was another sticker, it was Daiyama shock absorber, which i googled, i guess theyre the parent company of F&F, lol
