how did they crack?

For street cars I don't run anything more expensive than Megan stuff. Coilovers require so much maintenance so running them on the street is a waste.

I'm interested to know what maintanance, not being a douche but if you have a dust boot and the coilovers set up right, what else do you need to do?

Just buy some Stance and be done.

Even if you have a dust boot, some debris will still get in.

Also there's rust.

On race cars you're supposed to clean coilovers after every race so the dirt doesn't gunk up the threads.
