Default there are more than a "few" K03 hybrids running smoothing.....there are a lot actually
but not everyone posts about them and not everyone is active on AW. There are S4's outside of AW This is why people think the failure rate is so high, because any real talk about them only came out when the we had the bearing issue which caused our failures. Since fixing the problem that we were having with the bearings....we have not seen anymore issues.

I haven't heard of any more problems after he changed the bearings (bad batch or different design?)

Default what 'bearing issue'? if you found the source of your issues, maybe we'd feel a little better if you
shared it with us.
