Sorry to see. Best of luck. Before filing any claim, may be proper to switch back to OEM spring and dampers for show.

Here is the thread Bye Bye Family.... :-( (Pic and tear heavy)
That's interesting to know.Anyone know if using Poly bushing on tab arms etc could also enhance the road noise/vibration transmitted and possibly enhance the possibility of such arm cracking? I'm thinking in the line that both cars here appear to have had Coilovers, could it be that coilovers increases forces transmitted through the arms when setting them harsher than the OEM suspension pushing the arms beyond their engineered limits creating these issues? You'd still think the engineering limits would be far enough for this not to happen but maybe not. Just throwing my .
