Just wondering if any one else has had the bolts from the shock to control arm snap .
After installing Max peeding coilovers I have broken 3 bolts off in the control arm housing for the rear shocks .
All whilst driving .
It has had alot of axle hop and a savage knock going whilst driving .
Any advice greatly appreciated

It will be the coilovers for both issues, Maxspeedingrods are literally trash.

It will be because the rear shocks are binding throughout their stroke and working against the springs (probably this one), or the shocks are too long for how much travel the springs allow. Both of these will put a heap of strain on the shock bolt and both will cause tramp.

90% of what i've heard from people who got Maxspeeding coilovers have been bad because its broken the car and caused big damage. I honestly don't know how they're still in business
