I've used Koni adjustables on other cars before, and never had a problem.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

About 18 months ago I put the Tire Rack kit of new springs (Eibach? Can't remember!) and Koni shocks. Love the slightly lowered look and handling has been much improved. However, two weeks ago I heard what sounded like a broken spring on the left rear. Got it up on a lift the other day and turns out the left rear shock is useless. All gas appears gone and the sound I was hearing is the shock bottoming out. I have yet to contact Tire Rack, although I think these have some kind of limited lifetime warranty. That will be great, but won't cover the labor (which shouldn't be too bad). Anyone else have this problem? I've used Koni adjustables on other cars before, and never had a problem. No track time or punishing roads. Luck of the draw I guess.

POST 2Original post

It is rare but it does happen. I know a LOT of koni users in the autocross community and I know of it happening twice. Both times Koni simply replaced the damper without question. I'm sure you could go through Tire Rack and they'll handle it or, worst case, you have to call Koni yourself. I wouldn't sweat it though.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
