Ebach Spring Failure.

My Ebach springs are both broken on the front Had this happen on a 91 Accord with stock springs and it's in the same place (the lowermost loop). Anyone else ever experience this?

my passenger rear is cracked, it's in the upper/middle section though, not the lowermost loop. Rust is definitely a killer though, looks like it was a factor in yours failing.

No, I don't think the rust had anything to do with it. The springs are two years old, and rust can't get to them that fast.

I live in the Chicago area and cross RR tracks about 12 times a day and some of them are rough.

Yes, good idea. I will contact them.

If I get my G35 Coupe, this car is going to be donated to my son, and he can throw the replacement springs in there.
