MS Coilover Broke with less than a year of street use
So I bought a crap load of MS parts back in Feb and March and the only ones that don’t have a year warranty are the coilovers. talk about blowing money. they want 990. for two rear replacements retail, and 780. wholesale price. and even though this is clearly a manufacture defect doesn’t matter they had no warranty according to Mazda. I was driving down the freeway and i went over a slight dip in the road and heard a pop sound, then the sound got progressively worse. After pulling the rear drivers side this is what i came up with. only 8 months of street use I was never even able to take it to the track. so now im not sure if I should just get two new rear MS coils or go with something else like the Megan, H&R, or CUSCO. any thoughts or Ideas?

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Surprised and disheartened...plus sucks for you. With that happening, I don't think I'd trust them ever again completely....which is a non-no when you take your machinery to the track. Best get something good. Cusco has been zero problem for years for me...many other good brands I'm sure.

Just an update:
I ended up calling Eibach and they partially warranted them. they replaced the broken parts and rebuilt both rears for 180 bucks plus shipping to them. Seems like a fair price and way better than an entire new set.
I talked with the lead R&D, and they said they have never heard of this happening. Weird.
