Broken Varishock

[dhutton]

Hit a dip in the road today and one of the Varishocks on my G-Bar blew apart. What a mess, I'll need to cut the spring to get it out of there. I put in a longer spring due to the original spring bending and hitting the shock body. I know some are very happy with this setup but I've not been too impressed. I may be doing something wrong but at ride height the shock length is as specified. This setup has roughly 500 miles on it.

It looks like they have reduced the angle of the shock on the G-Link so I'm thinking that may have something to do with all this. It appears that the springs might be under pressure to bend due to the angle of the shock relative to the suspension travel.

I can't decide if I will try a pair of Shockwaves, a different brand of coilovers or just go full out and get an AME tri four bar setup and be done with it.

Hard to take a picture but here's one:
