Pulled into a parking lot and heard a pop. This was the result. Good thing the kind folks over at Eibach have a 1 million mile warranty. New spring should be here Friday. :icon_smil
 
Looks like their powder-coating process could use a little work. Or at least at the time they were made. lol
 
theres a bit of rust on the components there though. if you nicked the coating on the spring while installing it, it could have caused a spot for corrosion and eventually a break like that.
 
I don't remember every detail. But, we were careful. The struts were removed and springs were changed on the bench. Besides, there's a plastic guard/hose around the point where it broke. Don't know how we could have knicked it there. :lol:

That whole spring looks like junk. Only 3 years holy shit that's bad. Sounds like a quality control problem.
