I purchased a set BC coilovers on May 2008 and installed the kit in my car . I only drive my car for daily work, and have put it approximately 4000 miles.

I drove my car on highway with my family last Sunday, all of a sudden, I had this happen to me after the car was out of control (see the attached images).

Holly shit, it was ridiculous!! The product is a crap, I am going to sue this company for this ‘shit’ product.

or thought maybe they were put on wrong?

SRSONE has a point. You probably should have taken pictures before you took them out, unless you did, to show BC that they were put in correctly and it was a manufacturer fault.

Installing struts is not rocket science,It is pretty hard to mess up.I wouldn't bash this guy unless you know he forgot to put the bolts in or something like that.
Pretty dumb to assume without all the facts.Unless he says otherwise i would take him at face value.
Heck i have had brand new top dollar shocks bust the push rod after a few days.And they were properly installed.
