Isn't there a warranty on those suckers? Any fluid coming out of any of them?

Default Yeah, thats what i figured...

just wanted to see if other have experienced this.
Also any suggestions on what kind of lubricant?


The coilovers have been fine until recently as described. Though i am beginning to wonder if it has anything to do with the dampening settings (as they came preset from stasis) which i explained to the installer and i am hoping he didnt touch them as i had suggested..
