drivin home from school and when i brake i hear a clunk i drive on n nuthin but when i get home i see my front right tire camber like nothing i have ever seen i quickly jack up my car and i see this




the shock snapped where the threads end

HOW THE HELL DOES THIS HAPPEN?????

 

more

 

another

 

the weak link

 

It doesnt look like it was tightened down all the way. To much play = SNAP.
I've had it happen before on a GSX.

 

could not be tighten anymore due to the spacers
it came fully assembled so i did not put any spacers in the wrong spot

guess im not goin to the meet this friday guys

 

Wow...wth never seen something like that. Maybe a faulty product?

 

yea thats wut im thinkin im gonna take it to apex when i got time i called already n they said jus bring the receipt n they will see wut they can do
n i was lookin forward to friday' meet too,
i was gonna bring 2 other friends but since im not goin i dont think they are gonna go either so there goes 3 240s sorry again guys

 

sounds like you should ask for the N1 dampers....just say....you dont feel safe with the lower end produces...you wont feel safe unless u have the same suspension and n1 endurance racers...haha....seriously....that coulda been freally dangerous....u risked ur life, just because u trusted their produces....shoot....take advantage of the situation

 

haha smart but i dont think they will go for it the msrp difference is like a grand but i'll keep that in mind n maybe jus try it haha
n yea if i was on the freeway when this happened i would of probably flipped a few times or at least caused a pretty big accident, jus happy im okay for now

 

yea yea....being ok...has NOTHING to do with it....i mean....im glad ur not hurt...but...this is a time to rep the advantages...hahaha.......
my friend flipped is 6DAY old IS300 and non of the airbags went off....so....went to lexus...sued...and got....well....lets just say...he got a really hefty amount of money....along w/ a new is300

hey...did you strut mount fall off??? if it did.....how does that happen....

 

the mount did not fall off i jus took the picture while takin the thing apart
but the car fell to the point where the spring was being pushed so hard to the mount that the friction kept it there holdin the car up
thing is im guessin apex is gonna tell me i installed it wrong n try to blame it all on me

 

Sorry to hear that again man, maybe some other time

 

Wow pass on the Apex-i coilovers.

Good thing yu didn't get into an accident or something when it snapped bro.

 

yea well apex is goin to replace the coil overs no cost
they mention it happened on a s13 before also
when that came up i mention if i could get the n1 pros, long shot but worth a chance, turned down.
they said something like this rarely happens and they have no problems with replacing it. thing is they dont have any in stock so they need to ship from japan, so my car is still on the jacks til then.
they also mention they would find some way to compensate me for this problem jus dont know wut yet, ill let u guys know if its anything special haha

thanks for reading my bs
