Do you have a link regarding this? I have never heard of them just falling apart unless they were installed and set up incorrectly.

My wheel FELL OFF - BC coilover failure

This doesn't really prove anything as i'm sure there is a thread regarding any and every product failed at some point.

That was exactly the point I was going to make.

You can GOOGLE anything and you are bound to find something that breaks. NO parts are invincible regardless of how MUCH you spend on it.

So posting a link to a Mazda forum, that shows a guy having issues with his coilovers and stating that he was aware that he was driving around on a shock that was blown, is moot... right?

I just don't see how you can justify calling BC coils "crap" when you have no direct experiences with them, nor have been in or driven a car that has them.

Sounds like we have a good ole case of,
