Coil over set-up

I was wondering how many people are using the various couil over setups and how well they work. To me it doesnt seem like it would be sstrong enough? Anyone have any problems? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have got the set from spohn..

I have always very happy from spohn stuff, but i can
tell the torington bearing on 1 side have last only couple day...

They are wide open on top of the shock, so sand, dirt etc go thru it and apear a plate from the torington bearing have broke because of the coil...

Would you recommend it? Is there a better kit? I dont want to spend all of that money to be dissapointed with it.

I think if you got it, they have a new "top strut machined part" to fit the front coilover that would be better i think...

I like it but the torrington bearing will not last very long on road situation at less.. in fact i got 1 under plate of the bearing that broke (i think because the pressure of the coil on it.

I cant talk about other i have tryed only the spohn one, usualy spohn make nice part, but this one need some mod to be a better design for roading.. May the new set more costly whit the top shock mount..

I was thinking about going with bmr's configuration, it seems like a respectable one.
