well, tonight i was picking up my friend and i pulled into her driveway and i heard a nice loud bang from the front end. but i figured it was just the suspension cause its already crap after only 6 months on kyb gr2's. well i pull out and start to drive away and i heard a banging like the lug nuts are real loose. i pull over and look and 3 lug nuts are missing! i to move a couple of nuts over from the other wheels. i jack it up and come to find out, the 3 studs are snapped right off! 2 clean off and 1 broken at the half way mark. the front end is such a piece in my car. i hate it. in the words of Adam Sandler "I've got a piece os sh*t car, piece os sh*t car." and so i end my rant

Look at it this way. Better on the driveway instead of the freeway.

you play with them hard, what do you expect. 6 months on KYB's, wow.

i have 249,000 miles on my SW2, still on the stock stocks and still using the original clutch.

i am worried about the kyb's wearing out as i am getting ready to stuff some Eibachs and Springtechs in the car this weekend.

yea, im lucky i pulled over when i did cuase i thought about trying to makeit home. good thing i didnt cause more likely than not half way there the satty would have been sideways sliding across the brake rotor. also about the KYBs. not very happy about that at all. i heard about them wearing out quick on someone else bt most love them. i guess the road in my town are just too bad for them to handle. and its a state highway "138" that runs right thru, but they worked on it all last summer and the state has one year to repave it but its never gonna get done. damn u government
