Well long story short My kinetix camber kit driver side traction bar just broke off at the weld. I was not racing or acting in a irresponsible in anyway.I save that for the track. I was going 40 thank goodness I wasnt on the freeway. I went into a spin hit a curb then a tree. Pretty bad.
here are a couple pics from my phone
mass damage

look at the back tire that traction bar just broke off.


Im posting this because I have read that this kit does this and since I experiened it and could have hurt or even killed someone I dont recommend anyone get this product and if you have it on your car get it off. I posted in a earlier thread how great this kit is, I change my mind!

 

wow, sorry to hear that.
As u said, luckily that didn't happen on the freeway.
Glad u are ok.

 

Thanks. the other thing that was scary is I had my 10 year old son in the car.

 

so when it snapped u went into a spin with no warning or what?

 

yeah no warning. the back tire took control and I had no chance. if you look at the back tire in the pic on the tow truck no wonder it went side ways and I lost control.

 

Wow, at least you and your son are ok. I had a stock bridgestone potenza fall apart on me on the freeway going 75 MPH, nearly took out all the cars in 4 lanes, so I know how scary this is.

 

Wow, sorry to hear what happend glad u and your son are ok. As soon as I read the thread title first thing that popped in my head was a law suit(sp?) good luck with everything.

 

I agree when I spun I actualy went into the on coming lane. It could have easily been a head on collision.

 

sorry to hear. thats the samething that happen to my accord. I hit a pot hole and the camber kit broke from the welding but it doesnt look bad as yours.

 

I had this kit installed at the dealer near my home do they asume any responsibility or do I just pay my deductible and move on? It was not my fault I got into this acident.

 

I can't express my concern and relief that nothing happened to you.
I'm just glad that you and your son are ok being a father of 3 myself.

Certain camber kits never looked right to me incl the kinetix.
I did a great deal of research on it and everyone that had them sold them eventually down the line. Why would someone with a great product eventually sell.

I'm glad that I waited for the SPC front and rear kit.
I would hate to think something like this would happen to me while I have my family in my car.
I hope you start looking into legal representation for putting you and your family in harms way.
When you get a chance can you take pictures of exactly where it broke and the damage(clearer Pictures incl suspension area?.

 

If the installed looked fine and it didn't break at the install points, I would say its not the dealers fault its more of a product defect.

 

I will post pics today when I go to the body shop I had it towed to. The are actually open today at 9.

 

thats why I asked.

 

The reason got this kit is my tires wore bad on the insides due to my eibach springs. When I went into the dealer for service they basically sold me on it telling me how great the kit is.
