I just discovered that both my front VariShocks dampers (TCP front coil-overs) are busted. I was driving the car hard on some local twisty roads, when I noticed that the front end would wobble at high speeds. At first I thought the sampers were set to soft, because they were only at setting 3 on both rebound and compression. But a few days later I decided to lower the car a bit, and when I removed the passenger side damper to clean it, I saw this:
That damper had virtually no oil left. The driver side damper I could easily compress, and before I cleaned it, I looked for oil, which I found on it. So that's busted too. Has anyone experienced the same thing with their VariShocks? I know Steven Rupp of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine (at the time) had leaking VariShocks and got them replaced. I've written two e-mails to TCP, but no answer (The same mail to both sales and tech department), and that is why I'm posting here about it. Didn't want to, but here it is. I hope they aren't expecting me to buy another pair of $795 shocks, with that quality. How long will they last? Would appreciate it if someone from TCP could reply.
