[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16344684, member: 117234"] I had very similar concerns years ago then a few thing changed my mind. First I did a ton of searching trying to find shock tower failures. The only thing I found was 3 bolt cc plate failures on 94-04 cars. Next I looked at articles about the old FR500 because the suspension was an SLA setup. Not a word was mentioned about changing the strut tower or strengthening it. I doubt all those engineers would sign off on it if there was a problem. I looked at the benefits and drawbacks of them and found the biggest complaint was noise. This seemed to center around cheap coilovers though. Lastly I called MM and talked with an engineer it might have been Jack H for some time about it. I specifically asked if he had seen any failure associated with coilovers. He told had not seen one that didn't involve and accident. The one failure he did see was a car the rolled multiple times and the cc plate had bent badly and one of the towers only deformed but did not separate itself from the car. After all of that I pulled the trigger on a set and haven't looked back. [/QUOTE]
