I am posting this to see if anyone has had any issues recently with newer production strut purchases from koni.
I have a s54 swapped e30 that sees both street and track use. Im using the GC coilover conversion parts. I had VW carrado front inserts (non GC valved ones) and after an impact with a curb a while ago, consequently bending a strut, I replaced both front struts with the same Koni (non GC valved) Carrado inserts. The two new front insert struts blew after 1-2 thousand miles and only one track day. I then purchased two 8610 race inserts and after proper installation and ten miles of driving, the upper strut gland blew apart causing the entire strut to disassemble itself.
So in summary, I am curious if anyone has had any issues with more recent production Koni products?
