This makes me reconsider my thoughts on purchasing K-Sports.

Sorry about your situation. I'd be seriously pissed off if this happened to me.

I don't understand how they're breaking. For it to happen to you twice, something's not right. Maybe it's not the coils

Wow thats insane. Def sounds like something is wrong. Could be defective coils though. I've heard this happening to other people with differnet brand coils but not to the same person twice. Smh i've had k sports for three year's no problems and know quite a few people with k-sports and nothing crazy like this. Blown struts, seized collar's thats about it.

Good luck with going after K-Sport

Not sure if it's the same as ksports from 02-03 but if you need some pillowball mounts for the fronts let me know

For it to happen twice to you though it almost sounds like an issue on your end. I don't know..

Which KSport's are you using? The older or newer ones?

I have not heard a bunch of Ksport horror stories but obviously they do break. What I usually hear is they are crappy with their warranty replacements. Sorry that happened to you but Im in agreement with the rest that it would seem something is causing this not the quality of the CO's being low. GL. In the future go JIC

Its like Cattman. You can find em. Every set of CO's for our cars is a generic set so its really not difficult to come by. Price is always the limiting factor though
