If you don't know.. you shouldn't ask. Time to go 2003 on this thread.

[Pineapplegti !]

All of this is relevent to the thread.. **** your air ride, racelands. herraflush and the word stance.

[Ajlal24]

well id say stop lowering your dailies, but you have obviously made that choice. but from the pics, thats bull****, that shouldnt happen. was there any signs of damage prior to this?

Never any signs of prior damage. No precursors to the end result.

Traditional coilovers have nothing to do with this thread... H&R and Kw are amazing but they dont thread into the shock bodies or bare and resemblence to how/why the ksports broke. I think that you get what you pay for with coilovers..

Doesn't that saying work with just about everything? Im not justifying the coilover breaking, but there comes a line to every person where they have to justify the amount being spent with the vehicle in question. I didnt want to buy ****ty racelands that are gonna bounce all day with the prisoner built roads of CA, then again I couldn't justify spending a paycheck on coilovers. If i could do it all over I would have bought the H&Rs. Tried & Trued. Middle ground with coilovers is getting harder and harder to find.

I'm gonna say over tightening the bottom coil lock sleeve that caused these to break like that.

Cx racing coils have the same design.. Looks like I'm goin with h&r ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra lows

I highly doubt the lock collar was overtightened. I tightened all 4 myself, and would expect the others to do the same as this one. Plus the collar would have stripped out before you could even man-handle its tightness.

I had them on my my Mk2 for 2 yrs then swapped them on to my mk3. Still just fine have at least 50k on them.

im at 25k right now on mine and have never had an issue. i did replace my driver side strut but that was because of an accident, nothing to do with the coil itself.

It's all personal preference. Why get mad about someone else's opinion?


I prefer B&G for damping and how they are designed. I've had collars seize an whatever but a replace body thru B&G is like one hundo shipped. Finding a replacement H&R is a pain in the

Then again, personal preference and opinion. No need to hound who has the best out there, that's a never ending argument.

I myself have had H&R UUL and B&G's and my B&G's ride perfect. But I still wouldn't say no to a set of H&R's. I just prefer the B&G's.

Tell that to Ramon who's been looking for a couple weeks.

[The Hamburglar.]

it was a month or two after i got the car (4+ years ago) and i really dont remember who i ended up getting it from.

i know the first couple distributors i called had no idea what Ultra Lows were so i called H&R directly and still had to go through a distributor but i cant remember who. let me see if i can find a receipt.

Who is this weak ass'd swede, and what is he trying to start?

[nixqik1]

I have a feeling the OP didn't have the lock collar tightened properly on the hub bracket, which caused enough movement to shear the threaded body in half. OR, the body was raised so far in the bracket, there simply wasn't enough threaded portion to support the weight of the car during impacts. I can't imagine any other ways something like this would happen, short of an odd manufacturing defect.

First thought I had also, lock collar loosened, shear action ensured... I'll be checking mine more frequently!

So I need to get two front struts as soon as I can, and I've called K-Sport twice now with nobody to pick up the phone.

What are my options, emailing didnt work.

I've seen this happen to a B&G. They are the same junk design. H&R Coils are the best coil for these cars.

x2
I've had H&R streets, H&R Ultra Low I's, and H&R Ultra Low II's. Currently I'm running Ultra low I's on my daily, and Ultra low II's on my Golf. Best coils I've ever rode on, hands down, and I've had PSS9's, too, and Koni's.

My favorite set up for going low is some sort of H&R coil (Ultra low I, because I raise it all the way up for the winter), followed by Koni's, Bilsteins, and for a "budget set up" Koni yellow shocks with FK 60/40 springs.
