These work great, only thing is they RUST, and pass the rust onto your rust free car! I can't beleive they used cheap hardware on these. I don't live in Maine, there should be zero rust after only 1 year.

NRG, I hope you take care of this. I mean this is a 35k car that is only 2 yrs old and your dampers are only 1









:vilewalk:

 

hmm... that sucks. mine are rust-free after about a year.

did you try contacting them?

 

damn.....that's crappy. You should be able to get that out but they should take care of that.


I'd pull the struts. Rub off the rust on the car with a rag soaked in vinegar. Then follow with a clean rag...water...etc.


Take those struts and send em back. If they're gonna jack you around. Soak the end of them in vinegar over night.



I knew there was a reason I didn't want the chrome lookin ones......aren't those suppose to be STAINLESS.

 

its not 35k$ car its not new anymore 29ish if its in good shape

but they are in so cal and im sure they would help

if not we can shake them down

 

that's nitpicing and totally TOTALLY besides the point.


Shoot I don't even get along with this guy and I'm supporting his issues.

 

and im sure NRG will help


well then the price in the OP is totally besides teh point too


and you bought the cheap brand you get what you pay for

my prova ones are great
the tein ones i see are fine

 

Whatever man, the point is the car lists for 35k, I amnot saying it's current value.

Called them and they had me email them pics. Dude that takes care of this is not in blah blah blahand they will get back to me. We will see how this goes.

 

Dude please refrian from posting in my threads, I want no help from you. I can't beleive you are even a mod. The shlt you say is uncalled for.

 

you may have gotten a bad batch, maybe? I haven't seen any rust problems with my old ones.


Any response back after contacting them?

 

fine no problem i wont explain you get what you pay for

bye

 

sigma Pi is right


Contact NRG about the rust.

( I wonder whats going to happen when he orders aftermarket brake rotors and they rust? )

 

ummmm....that's normal.


it is not normal to have an underhood functional/appearance based product rust like this. I have a hard time believeing that you'd just turn your eyes from it and not be irked. The description on NRG's site says durability...made from stainless. It SHOULD not rust like this...specially in california. I am sure NRG will make it right.

and as per the get what you pay for statement? Don't these cost more than the tein product? It's as good or better than most on the market......apparently you don't think Prova's hood struts are OVERPRICED.

go back to the SCIC and your honda.

 

no i dont think they are

they dont rust and if thats what im paying for im ok with it


and its obvious that these are not as good as or better others on teh market they rusted haha

 

do nrg rust less than the teins? Im lookin to get a pair, but not after seeing stylins post.

 

why does everyone think I have a honda?

Tein dropped the price of their product to compete with NRG since NRG was flooding the market with their pieces. Much like how body kit companies dropped their prices to eliminate the knock off brands, Automotive manufactures are doing to same.

Odds are NRG will replace the part to keep you content, however I doubt this is an isolated incident. I have a pair of NRG hood dampers at home. I intended on installing them, but the shock kept failing, then the lock pins kept breaking. NRG replaced all the items at no charge to me, but I ended up leaving them off my car. I can test the hardware if it these rusts the same.
