For the snapped one it says that the guy who bought them fitted them. Maybe the bottom mount bit was only screwed onto the bottom of the strut a small amount so only about an inch of the strut was inside it, if you get what I mean? Need more info and pics to tell if it was caused due to incorrect fitting or if they really did just snap for no real reason. The one in the for sale ad was bent due to a slight accident.

Thats what Im thinking.

Theres also a possibility that theyre not actually BC Racing. Theres a copy being sold on Ebay at the moment under the name BG from BCC in Taiwan.

No matter what the cause the BC Racing kits we distribute are completely different to those and we have sold many thousands of sets over a 5 year period and have never seen anything like that
