judging by your diagram your havent installed the coilovers properly at all...

sorry to be a cunt but this is entirely your fault not fk's..

i presume one of the 2 nuts there is the packing nut..? this should have been binned... not fitted...

on another note... i didnt get ANY instructions whatso ever when i got my fks...

on a another another note..... just looking at the coilovers i got for my nissan... the fks are a complete joke..

I don't know why people continue to buy them (apart from the fact that they're cheap)!

You get what you pay for IMO

there shouldnt have been two nuts either side, no wonder it snapped, any side movement (big bumps etc) would surely snap it its that rigid

Yep, but what it comes down to is yes, you are buying *budget* coilovers but I dont want to spend the best part of £1000 on a set on Koni's or H&R's so I can drive to work on them. I bought coilovers because I want to run my car low (waits for the cars dont handle low bandwagon ) and thats about it, I dont track my car so why not get budget?

I previously had a full set of damping adjustable AVO shocks and they were a joke, pissed out all the oil which is why I had to buy new ones in the first place.
