    Why not? Everyone I hear has a boner for inverteds.

    I did KSport personally. I loved them when they were adjusted right, the last 3 months I owned the car LOL

    I wise friend once said (the guy that owns my previous srt) they are all built by the same 10 yearold asians, so they all are about the same.

    lame!

    My buddy has inverteds on his WRX wagon for the past 2 years and hasn't had a problem with them. He also has put on more than 40k miles on the car most of it i25 between Alb and SF

    From my experience, I had the seals go bad on the front coil-overs inside the first year. It was replaced under warranty...which was nice, but didn't help having the car on jack stands for two weeks waiting for the new cartridge to come in. (I suppose that was my fault for not knowing how the warranty repair process works) Then just a little over a year later, no longer in warranty, I had the front go bad again. 2 failures in 2 years with less than 30k miles = not worth it, IMO. But I hear nothing but good things about the non-inverted style as far a reliability issues.

    That maybe the case, but from what I hear...and my experience coincides with this...the inverted style on the Neon = bad reliability issues. Maybe I just had a bad set, and got a bad replacement cartridge...IDK, I just know I won't do BC inverted again.

    No big deal...It is what it is. I was going to go back with non-inverted coil-overs. 'Til I let my son buy his truck...now it's all about getting that thing in order for him in a few years. So, no more fun stuff for baby...:doh:
