Koni Yellow with GC coilovers - 450f/350r - 2007 to current

I really enjoyed the 2nd set initially until I started experiencing dangerous bump steer once the rear struts completely went dead. By dead I mean you flip the strut over and it just falls right back in.
Did your front struts fail as well, or just the rears?

Also, an attempt to gather data on the subject has been made, it would be great if you could add your experience there as well. It should be noted that your struts were not used with stock springs. Whether it made a difference in the life of the struts or not is debatable, but IMO it should still be noted.

OEM strut poll can be found here.

Edit: Nevermind about the non-stock spring comment, I misread your post. It looks like you had them on stock springs first, and then the second set on aftermarket springs.
