Has anyone (any gen) blown a Tokico Illumina strut yet?

I remember there was all this bandwagon riding before the release of the AGX struts, now people are having them blow left and right. It's been a few months now since the release of the Illuminas, has anyone blown a strut yet or had any problems?

I've been around here long enough to know that I don't know of any 4th gen that has ever blown an Illumina or Koni Yellow. I've heard many stories of blown AGXs though, on everything from Maxspeeds to H&R to Eibach to Sprint.

only time will tell. They do have lifetime warranties though if you haven't dropped over 2".

I remember someone had a Koni break on them, don't remember if it blew through normal use or what but Koni has a no-questions-asked guarantee. They'll replace it if it breaks.

I remember it too, but I also remember that his Koni was shortened by motivational engineering, and that's why we think it might have popped. What's his name, he lives in LA.
