e-kick me in the nuts huh? Let me grab my e-jockstrap here real fast, and maybe my e-steel toes so I can e-return the favour.

I was talking about the 50-dollar ones. I'm not saying that they're ALL bound for failure, but why do you think they cost less? Lower-quality material, lower standards for quality assurance, etc. Perhaps I'm paranoid about what I put on my car, but when you're talking about a $10,000 investment (give or take a few thousand depending) I really don't think that putting an extra 100-400 bucks into coilovers is going to wreck you financially. Not like an auto wreck would.

Just my $.02
