And Strange 10-ways ain't cheap! I have a friend waiting to slap some on his 10-sec Termi to replace his crap QA1 coilovers, but building a house was more important for some reason lol
I put Montoes all the way around 2 years ago (I was really poor ) and Ive blown my back to already. I wouldnt recommend them...

In our case, it's replacing a qa1 coilover with a strange setup and having to add a coilover kit to them as well, at all 4 corners! It adds up pretty quick lol

Agreed. Been running them on my girlies '98 for 30k miles and no problems. Its a daily driver, not a racer. Very smooth on city and highway.

They have a lifetime warranty. Just take it off and take it to a shop that sells them (doesn't have to be the one you bought it from either) and they will give you a new one for free.
