The reason for terrible accident

[baboo]

I purchased a set BC coilovers on May 2008 and installed the kit in my car . I only drive my car for daily work, and have put it approximately 4000 miles.

I drove my car on highway with my family last Sunday, all of a sudden, I had this happen to me after the car was out of control (see the attached images).

Holly shit, it was ridiculous!! The product is a crap, I am going to sue this company for this ‘shit’ product.

arent they base height adjustable? to me looks like incorrect installation

unless it pulled thru the thread completely

[Hen may possibly be a nut]

Welcome and great first post.

So did you do an S13 front end conversion on your Sprinter? Or how did you fit those struts to your car?

Hen... He never said it was in a sprinter...
Assuming its not... I'm wondering what amount of force was required to sheer a piece of near 2 inch pipe clean like that... At what speed did the impact occur.??
Or does each member of your family weigh 400pounds.??

Something I noticed that seems just alittle odd is how in the first pic the strut is filthy and covered in oil and grim, yet the BC sticker is remarkably spotless.. Even when the is shit mearly a millimeter above it..

Nice first post buddy..

I would also like to see some close up pics of the broken area...
From your current pics it apears that the internal part of the strut has a very pretty bevel machined into it right where its broken.

[Delazy]

they arent broken, nothing is sheared in half...

BC coilovers like many other coilovers are BASE Height adjustable...

which is why im saying if the pic is showing anything its showing that the installation was done incorrectly and not enuff thread was holding them together

im a hater of cheap suspension just as anyone else...id never run them myself, although the rear perches interest me...but this pic shows nothing dodgy about the product

lol...

its a spammer, same post on a couple of forums if you look at the pic no problems with them. someones trying to get bc a bad name
