I wouldn't mind testing stuff.

especially now that I will probably be a weekly visitor of the nurburgring starting next month

nah, nothing like that. shock mount weld failed while the tech drove it around the block after the install and before the alignment. No damage. Got tein monoflex instead. They have since sent me pics of the updgraded weld.

Glad to hear you feel "it was no big deal" that your newly installed coilover broke as soon as it was installed on your car . Good news that nothing worse happened.... But any coilover failing, period, or ESPECIALLY just right after install and a quick trip around the block... whoa, are you kidding me?!!
There is just NO excuse good enough for things like that, that's crazy.

I am in no way a fan of any Tein products either, but at least you won't have to worry about them braking right away...
Mike, with the Tein monoflex the worst you will have to deal with is imbalanced and improper shock valving and inconsistent spring rates, LOL Hahah Just messin' with ya (kinda)
