Oh man, that more than sucks! Worst feeling ever when it happens too, poor car! Is KW doing anything to help out the situation?

Lifetime warranty, but I need to send them my blown struts to get replacements. Terrible process with poor turnaround time.

[josh3842]

I would be going insane! Makes me want to buy 2 sets when I get mine! I don't know whats better, spending the extra 1200 for extra parts or looking at your car on jack stands for a month.

Good thing I walk to work, I guess.

Whats your overall view of these coilovers despite the given frustration of failure, from everything I have read this doesn't happen often? I was looking a Vogtland as well, but they only warranty theirs for 20k miles.

The KWs were awesome. I would do V2s for dampening adjustment, but they're not made for xDrive.

[josh3842]

I will have to take a look at the V2's then as I don't have xdrive. Did you do any camber adjustments?

[Derek Zoolander]

-1.2 front and -3.1 rear, but I have 18x10" and 18x11"

Shipping the struts out to KW tomorrow

One was seized in the spindle. Having a shop re-install the OEM suspension :(
