Basically i'm at odds with Tanabe, they're telling me it was my ASE mechanic (15yrs+ with no coilover related problems). They're telling me the coilover was installed wrong. But the adjuster on top on the shock fell through the shock. Any advice on what I should I do? Their not honoring their warranty and i'm pi**ed. Thanks in advance all

Kurt-

P.S sorry for not including more details or pics (Tanabe has the coilover)

P.S.S Recommendations for another set of coilovers pls?

Stance or Powered By Max coilovers FTW. And I would love to see a pic of that, I cant imagine what your trying to explain.

Exactly, and now they're not honoring their warranty. Can you believe that sh*t? I'm just gonna buy another set of coilovers (Greddy, HKS, Cusco etc) and sell the Tanabe's. They're not a bad coilover but I really don't want to support their product
