Exclamation Split/crack in CT lowering spring!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Is it ok to use? My first opinion is no but I have no experience with cracked springs and was wondering if anyone has had experience with using a cracked spring? Please help.

Comptech spring with crack

What do you think?

Thanks,
Erik Lemke

No. Others have had the same problem with the comptech's. My understanding is that the new revised comptech springs are eibach's with the comptech name on them.

^ Do you think it will continue cracking or effect the spring rate?

I would not want to find out nor would I consider using it. Call comptech and see if they will warranty it out for you.

They outsourced for powdercoating, and I guess it went wrong. It eventually peels off, and it starts rusting. Then the coils split/crack/collapse.

Contact Comptech and see what they say. I've heard of cases where they helped people out with their broken CT springs.
