I am looking at various different coilover set ups and they all seem to have the upper mount with the adjustable camber. What I am questioning is how durable that area is? It just seems to me that there would be a lot of pressure on that area and they would strip out or break over time. I was wondering if anybody had ran into this or had any feedback?

i have megan racing coils, street series. and they're pretty cool to me. and go low(frame on the ground) or high(not as high as stock though). and aren't to stiff but it will be a bumpy ride on a gravel road though. i've also been on megan's track series coils too. those are pretty stiff. and cusco coils too, which are also kind of stiff.

"For off road use only" Daily driving kills these parts, even the really good ones in time. I dunno good coils with a guarentee and that are rebuild-able is the way to go
