Default Anyone else running KW v1 coilovers...

...and having problems?

After 50-60K miles, my rear shocks are leaking and the front coilovers are blown. This is unacceptable to me.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I have sent an inquiry to KW in writing, we'll see if I hear back from them

Default Lifetime warranty on V1's, but I think you have to send them in to be repaired, so you

will be sans car for the repair cycle...
