No.
Seriously you have talked mad shlt to me many times. I am tired of being harrased by a mod. If I could set you to ignore I would. Stop replying to my threads. I am seriously going to complain to the site owner. A LOT of us NorCal guys feel the same way Sigma, so it's not just me..

now that I have contributed by using the "search" button I'm going to jump into this gangbang
Stiylin, by your comments I think you need to bring your car and the rusty damper down to the track and put your money where you mouth is. you should have no problems beating him in your sti.

So this is what i-club is turning into?
I start a help thread. Sigma and Life come talk their smack and I just have to put up with it. LEt me go find all the cuss words from others users so you can warn them too.
This site is really changing, for the worse.
Go ahead and warn me, ban me, whatever you feel is nessacary. This place is becoming NASIOC.

LMAO!!! if you guys wouldve just went to pick-and-pull for your dampers this thread/drama wouldnt exist.
Honestly, who PAYS for a damper?!?! you could pick-and-pull one off of a minivan trunk lid for $5 AT MOST!
protective paint = no rust!

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

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.

What I can tell you is the rust is common for the NRG, not the Tein.

i can continue however i don't see insults towards u, and i must ask why are you giving sigma and life crap when they are offering you information and help? Is it because they are from socal?

FYI: I am not friends with the SoCal guys.. they can die in a fire.
what is silly is that you are complaining about people that are giving you advice and trying to help, but all you are doing is whining about mod abuse.
the only negative I can really see is people calling you cheap for not buying the Teins.

Lets keep it clean...
I'd suggest you simply contact NRG, i'm sure they'll replace it. If they don't, try seeing if you can replace the hardware yourself, i'm sure it's available out there.
