CT Springs Broken...!
I have 69k on them and took my car for inspection today and found out 3 out of 4 have broken coils.. So pissed right now.. It's passed their 2 year warranty and they are atleast giving them to me for $200 shipped but with the install of $225 it makes it a expensive quality issue...!!! PISSED..

Jonesi - Just curious, what shocks have you been running with and are the springs installed on a different perch other than the stock setup? In other words, is your car lower than the normal CT drop?

I'm taking my CT springs off on Wednesday and replacing them with H&R OE Sports. I'm selling the CT because I don't like the rake they produced. If you're interested shoot me an email. They only have 8K miles on them.

Sorry to hear that Jonesi.
Are you content with the CT drop or are you planning on swapping in a new brand?
If you need a set of stock springs i still have mine.

Ok, here's the broken pieces off the springs.. Looks like rust may have been a small factor..

On top of that they are extremely frail and fragile.. I don't even want to take a wheel off and look.. I'm just going to get it fixed and take pictures afterwards..

Wow they look like hell. Mine are a little dirty but still look like the day they came out of the box. Still silver as well.
Maybe you should go with coilovers? I thought about swapping out my tokico HP's for a set of Koni yellows but then decided that if I'm going to go through all that trouble .. I think I would be going TEIN.

I'm gonna drop Piglet soon, and I'm definitely doin' coilovers. I still have my original suspension (110k), so the shocks would probably burst after a week of new springs, anyway. It won't cost much more to do coilivers at that point.
Good luck, senoj!
