Well boyz, here it is:

You can dbl click to enlarge. CT has agreed to reimburse me the cost of the re-installing the OEM springs and refund my original cost. Whatta pain in the ass. And can someone tell me why I can't post pix as attachments?

 

did the springs break due to rust through or did it break while driving?

 

no idea but CT told me yesterday they were aware of a "bad batch of springs" that were failing and apparently mine may have been part of that batch. The driver's rear spring broke as it was literally being driven into the service bay at Ray Laks Acura to have the passenger rear spring replaced. I said screw it, put the old OEM's back on, I'm not dealin' any more. I do HATE the way the car looks now tho but oh well, it's got 87K on it and will likely only be around another year tops before it's a goner.

 

They must have subcontracted them to one of OBX’s suppliers.

My Comptech springs are rusted like HELL.
I hope that doesn’t happen to me.
Any idea if they can track the “bad batch” via build date or S/N?

 

Damn... WTF is up with that???

 

Damn, that really sucks. I looked at my H&R's and they look like new still... so I'm hoping that they don't start to rust.

As for the pics.... you could never attach pics... always had to host them and link.

 

Damn those suckers look like they're 10 years old.

Good to hear CT is gonna do the right thing though.

 

i feel bad for you guys on the east coast. rust pwns you. :shakehd:

 

Mine still look new. (I haven't even had them a year yet though. )

 

 

What a pain in the butt, glad their dealing with it like they should. I've never heard of springs rusting, my Neuespeed race springs on my Civic were on for 6 years and they never rusted.

 

i thought they would be coated in some stuff that prevents rust

 

I did too but maybe the bad batch was missing that coating.

 

No idea on the build date thang Shawn, I'll ask Joe at CT if he can give us more info. One thing I want to make abundantly clear, CT has been OUTSTANDING regarding this whole thing. Daily communications, friendly, courteous, professional, no haggling, just plain unbelievable. If anyone is considering buying something other than CT for their cars, I urge you to do otherwise based on CT's customer service alone. Kudos to CT, thanks guys

 

no shit You think they would of coated them

 

my sportlines have been on a few years and i'm at the beach w/ a ton of salt. No rust at all. Looks like comptech doesn't coat them. Eibach puts a sturdy coat on theirs, along w/ all the other springs i've had but the suspension techniques
