I wouldn't mind an update, I'm very interested in these coilovers.

EXPERIENCE AT ~10,000 MILES (January 2nd 2014):
I FINALLY dropped the car even lower recently, which was an easy task because there was no corrosion or damage to the threads on the coilover body. Before attempting to adjust the collars, I soaked the threaded parts of the body down with WD40, wiped them with a rag and blew the threads clean with the air compressor -- just to insure that no foreign matter would have the chance to contaminate the threads. I had zero issues with adjustment and at this point the coilovers ride as well as they did when I first installed them.

Hey, installing my D2s now. I don't see where the items Darren driven calls brake brackets come into play. Anyone have any ideas?

They probably solved the issue by now, it was likely something that was only in early production.

You can't find the brake brackets? Or the brake brackets are missing from your struts? I don't understand your exact problem.

Nah I've got them and just bought the set. It did have allot of apparent fixes. I can only guess they are universal brake line holders.

Problem was extra parts really. Everything looks buttoned up and I can't fit the life of me think why they have these parts. They are in the lower left hand corner of his parts picture. And their docs are crap. It's like some one used Google translate to write their docs.
