Pirates coilovers
#421
I got mine in 2 weeks. I acutally think i was the first warranty claim, i saw fluid leaking from my passenger rear coilover. When i removed the coilover i pushed down on the top pillow mount yellow fluid started to rush out where the metal rod meets the shock body. I later emailed racingfirst and he emailed me back "shipping is expensive, if you take it to a shop and get the coilover rebuilt we will reimburse you the money via paypal." As of now i have done nothing for the past 2 months they have been sitting taking up dust. Remember i only had these installed for 2 months and were installed by a professorial mechanic so there were no installation errors. If i have time later i will show pictures
racingfirst,您好!
Hello I noticed today I have fluid coming out of the bottom of the shock and it is very easy for me to push down. Is there any time of warrantry work or replacement I can get for 1 coilover?

Update,
Removed the rears, noticed one of the pillowball mounts was super loose to the point where I could hand tighten the nut on top. And the other had a small amount of shock fluid pooled on the strut.
For the mean time I threw on my OEM rears and noise is pretty much non-existant.

I mentioned this in the beginning of this thread.. I had to put locktite on my pillow ball mount nut so that it'd stop backing out.. This (nut loosening) will continue to happen till you do that regardless of how many sets you get.. It also happens on other brands as well though, it's not just limited to Pirate..

Hey guys,
I haven't been on here in awhile. I also had my rear strut blow on me. Emailed racingfirst and he sent me a replacement (i had to pay for shipping)...Still fighting the "metal on metal" sound but i haven't tried all of the solutions yet. I received my new strut and it is red in color as the original set....i hope it won't blow on me again...I'll keep everyone posted as I'll be tackling this job tomorrow again.

Dont be mad brah
I had the same exact issue to the T. To say the least other then my shock leaking oil and the metal to metal sound that was happening i didnt have anyother issues. I knew i was taking a gamble buying these coilovers and im always up for trying new things and saving a little money also. I was happy with the ride and you can go pretty low with the spring in the spring bucket. BTW just so everyone knows you have a 1 year warranty thru racingfirst to make claims if you have any issues. Im just not sure why he wouldnt replace my 1 coilover he wanted me to repair it myself and he would paypal me the money back which was weird in my book. No buyers remorse here tho
