D2 owners and ABS sensor question for all.

Well I had a nice noise start in the front of my car this morning other than the obnoxious clunking noise from the D2 coilovers. When I pulled the front wheel off I noticed the ABS wheel sensor was mangled and the flimsy brake line and wheel sensor bracket that comes with the D2's was dug into my CV boot. Fortunatley only the wheel sensor was damaged. CV boot looked pretty intact. My question is does anyone know what these ABS wheel sensors run? It doesn't look like it would cost a lot but with Nissan you never know. I'm really pi$$ed about the coilovers. The ride is awesome, but the noise from the front right strut is so loud, people stare as I drive through the hospital parking lot. Something sounds really loose, yet all bolts are tight.Its WAY too loud to be a coil clacking. I'm pretty sure its either the pillowball upper mount or the strut itself. People that ride in my car ask if this piece of $h!t is going to go to pieces? I've talked with Mike at Urban and so far it seems to be a big waiting game to get this one replaced. I'll keep you guys posted on how the customer service plays out.

It could possibly be the prematur wear of rubber between the spring and the pillow mount. I have a similar noise coming from my both Maxspeed spring, cuz when the shop installed it they forgot to put back the rubber sleeve that goes on the first coil. When I move the car out of the driveaway I hear this weird noise. I heard from a recent D2 owner that the rubber wear very quickly, my D2 are still in my tech room I will install it only next spring so it will give me planty of time to fabricate a more robust rubber that wont tear as fast as the one supplied with the D2.

My 2 cents
