A lot of people mention about reinforcing the top of the shock mounts
as tabetha mentioned, theres not alot of meat holding the rear shocks in at the top of the turret, with the increased weight transfer from the springs to only the shock turrets i would expect something to flog out after a while of harsh driving on a track or really crappy bumby arse roads.
have a look, the wall section of the body steel at the top mount is not very thick at all.
also coilovers arnt the most comfortable ride, my mate has a set in
his ek civic, i can only cruz around in his car for bout half an hour before i have to get out and give my back a breather due to the harshness of the
ride, but on the other side it handles like its on railway tracks at high speed.
