^this! I mentioned to Powell he should make the next version a little lower in the back.

OP - Have you tried contacting Eibach and see if they could do anything? I called them about a possible binding spring when I had them and they were going to replace it.

I read into their warranty before I ordered anything and it claims only to the original purchaser....and these were on the car when I got it at 16k miles.

Had a similar thing happen to me, but its the passenger front that broke. Cars been sitting in the garage to get fixed. Want to go full coilovers but might just get new shocks,struts and springs. Haven't taken anything apart to see how bad it is but you can clearly see that the spring is broken.

You just got to tell them they were given to you as a gift. I wasn't the original purchaser when they offered to replace mine.

Bring your car up to PA, and see if you still think this.

I had CM springs.

Not that ride quality really exists when you lower a car, but to say they ride like stock is not accurate, because they really don't.

I recently discovered my rear left Sportline was broken in two places inside of the vinyl tube, also all of the coils were heavily corroded. I contacted Eibach on the warranty, sent them a picture and copy of my receipt, and just recieved my new set of Sportlines. I have to say the customer service I recieved on this warranty issue was very surprising, they noted the issue and corrected it immediately without issue. Also, the new coils look much nicer and instead of a solid vinyl tube they used separate sections of perforated plastic for an insulator. Hopefully the corrected design will prevent gathered water from corroding the new ones, they seem a much better quality from the originals I've had on my Cobalt for five years. So, props to Eibach, and now all that is left is for me to install them.
