im runnning a drc race system which is essentially a kore chase system. I have bilstein 7100's in the from and had 5150's in the back. I blew one pickyback reseviour off the back shocks and sheared the top mounting bracket thingy off the other back one, now i just realized today that one of my front shocks is leaking pretty good. What do you guys recomend for shocks that will actually last longer then a year? I dont do any offroad driving just 10 kms of really crappy roads everyday and want something good and that will last.

 

whoa......you've got Bilsteins that are better than the 5100's that I want to buy and they are leaking just b/c of bad roads? What does that mean, dont buy the Bilteins shocks?

 

I have had my 5100's for 10,000mi so far and no probs.

 

Send them back where you got them. I was told my bilstien,s have a life time waranty. they said if they go bad or leak send them in and they will be fixed or replaced. Not sure if its true mine are still working fine 10,000 plus. I wonder if they gave you the wrong shocks like for a lighter truck.

 

I have Donahoe Racing and really like them plus they don't rust.

 

Somethings wrong with either the shock or the setup. Are you topping or bottoming the shock? I can't believe they'd actually breaking without something really wrong. I had a set on my Titan and beat the hell out of them and never had a single issue. I would double check your setup. Good luck!
