[QUOTE="vertigyn, post: 10442991, member: 63258"] The spring rate is 50ibs above their recommended rate for the shock but they said it should be fine. Afterall, back when the kit was originally sold it was what they recommended to the original buyer (who never installed them). The shocks are the MM Sport Valved Bilstein's. From what I can tell, the circlip got loose and kept moving up and down on the shock shaft. This eventually caused it to machine the ledge that it was intended to rest on. My only guess is that maybe the nut on the top wasn't tightened as much as it should have been - but that is just a guess. MM seemed to be familiar with this...so perhaps it might not be common but my guess is that it's not all that rare. So, when the new pieces come, I will tighten that top nut as much as I can and hope for the best =) The current set up lasted for about 2 years of hard driving - so I'm not at all upset - just caught me by surprise. This is what the good side looks like with the circlip still functioning: [ATTACH=full]157782[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
