well i now know NEVER to buy suspension parts off of e bay i guess you get what you pay for. people selling factory rejects. first i bought front struts one in which had weak threads and blew apart taking the hat right off my head. 2nd i bout sway bar links which both have broke as of yesterday, what is with this crap where do they get it?

 

Wow -- that could have been a dangerous (fatal) situation. Glad it was only your hat that got removed! I had a retaining bolt come loose changine the struts on my maxi and it got very exciting for a few moments.
I purchased some struts from a reputable seller (checked the feedback) on eBay and was very happy with the purchase. I always look at feedback to see if the person has sold that item before and if the buyer was satisfied with the purchase. Sorry you got burned.

 

i did to lol i never buy from anyone under a 98% 1000 orders. i got the adrenaline pumpin thats for sure man those springs have unbelevable force i knew they were powerful but that is insane i didnt even have a chance to blink it would of killed me for sure. i have taken pictures and sent e mails to the sellers but no one wants to honor their word or product its crazy. id like to beem em in the face with the broken parts lol

 

they buy stock lifts, and product closeouts

 

I got my endlinks from e-bay and they are great. Like any place else, if the price is too good to believe than it usually is not good quality. I just got my spoiler from there which is a decent piece but the bolt holes were not taped off when they primered and I have to tap them out. Nothing major but it's a sign of cheap assembly. Oh well, It's still better than what I had.

 

what brand struts were they?

 

dunno, but I would guess gabriel
