KTS: blown shock - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

By now there's an assload of people running the KTS coils on their cars for some time. I've had mine for about 14 months now. Put them on last august and drove it for 2 months, then stored the car for winter for about 5 months, so I only have put about 4-5k miles total on them to date.
Even before I put it away last year there was a clunk that would come from the passenger rear shock under quick compression, like when going over railroad track crossings or big potholes, but I thought nothing of it.
2 weeks ago it started clunking very loudly while just cruising, and this weekend it got so bad it sounded like the coilover was completely unbolted from the car and flopping around.
So I threw it up on the lift last night and the shock is blown completely, and damn this thing is loud.
No biggie I guess, I'll just replace it. Just wondering if anyone else has had to replace shocks in their KTS' yet. I have a feeling this one may have been bad from the start due to the mild clunking from the get go, so hopefully mine's just a fluke.
