I don't daily my car, so mine's not an accurate representation of durability.. However I have put over 1500 miles on them.. I've loosened, stiffened, raised, lowered, and converted to true config in that time..
Nate Hamilton (#144) on the XDC Drift tour was drifting in Topspeed coils all of last year till he just signed a new sponsorship deal w/ KSport this year.. So that should allude to the durability of these coils.. You're not getting some crack addict coils.. They're comparable to a KSport or BC Racing BR series coil IMO..
As far as the rattle chatt, is it in the front or rear.. Like I said, the only thing audible that I have (which is completely normal) is the slight chatter when going in parkinglots around 20mph or less.. Most coils have a "sound" when flexed that you can hear when going at slower speeds.. You can't hear this when going faster.. So it's normal.
If you're hearing the sound in the front, you might want to check the nut right above the pillow ball mount to ensure it's tightened.. It's right beneath the damping dial.. Sometimes that nut will losen because of the movement of the coils.. I put loctite on mine to ensure that it doesn't come loose again.. That's the only time mine rattled..

Guys if you want them then buy them! Unless you have the cash to spend on stances or bc..these are fine..I drove 2 hours to nashville this past weekend and it held up great the whole way! I've put like 400 miles on mine so far. I've raised..lowered..softened and stiffened them up and I still feel comfident in them..they feel strong and I love how they handle..
I daily drive mine 7 days a week btw..
Twalls..the rattle I hear is in the rear..I prevented the fronts by making sure I tightened that nut under the dampening **** during install...the right rear is the main rattling problem..doesn't really rattle on regular roads..its on bumps or uneven roads...but even at high way speeds its fine unless I hit bumps..sounds like somethings loose but I checked it all..what do you think?

My sedan has rolled over 2000 miles now. Just hear the rolling/light rumble of low profile tires and I am very satisfied with pirates coilove The body holds level in high speed turns.These immediately rebound from high speed bumps, even some slamming HS bumps are controlled by the dampening valve range repeatably. I like em,

And you made sure the top nut on the shock was tight? Similar to the front you tightened, but in the rear. I need to retighten mine this weekend, I think it's a little loose because I can hear the rattle on bumpy roads....
