    Honestly, even stock is fine, with reinforcement plates as insurance (not even likely needed with stock like spring rates). Though the life span on OE might be less, but the cost is much less too.

      Screw ECS. Clearance is the only section I go to. Even that has been full of garbage for a while.

        Update: hadn't touched the car for months. Finally pulled it apart, and the RSM failure was catastrophic due to poor design; the monoball was actually fine. Urethane bushing completely disintegrated itself on the top side; shavings all over the top of the shock tower inside the trunk and what was left of the bottom half was only contained by the washer/cover. Car sounded like someone was in the trunk with a baseball bat.

        So heads up if you have these they WILL eventually fail.

          And just to show they were assembled correctly. Notice how much play just using two fingers (that's what she said)
