This happened today while driving 55-60MPH. It made a sharp left (i thought i would have made a right) towards the guardrail. The coilovers have less then 10k on them and i got them back in oct 08 so they aren't that old.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not cheap out on suspension.

I'm really glad no one was hurt, as that's not good for anyone. Seriously, it does take some skill to keep it all together going 55 mph, so good job there.

To answer your question, no this does not happen with most coilovers. I've seen it happen with a small number of them.

^+10000000000.. I've seen it happen in a time attack and autox.. but always was a cheapy brand or ritard installation/suspension tuned. This is not normal.

I have seen it happen with a fairly popular JDM brand that's not exactly a cheap one too....

and to be clear i've always thought they sucked anyway.
