Even with a hole in one of the bags, it still looks pretty good.
 Some of the guys at bag riders hooked me up with a new bag. should be here Friday. I am getting some mounting tabs welded to the struts tomorrow, and for extra protection, I'm having a ring welded around the strut near the top of the knuckle so even if that mounting tab breaks, it won't fall through and give me problems. Removed the roof rack. What do you guys think, roof rack or no roof rack?

No roof rack. it looks super clean.
 It sucks that you had problems so soon but it's good you got it sorted out really quick also. I vote you get 16's and see how those fit. As a matter of fact, buy my wheels.

Second gens will go ridiculoulsy low on 16s...especially if you run small tires. My clubman was almost on the ground when it was on 16s ....and that was when I was running struts that were too long

I'll probably stick with 17s. I thought 16s looked too small on my car when I had them. Plus... I reaallllyy like my style 5s!

Hey guys, here's what I did to prevent this from happening again. Hopefully this can help people in the future prevent this from happening.
Welded the lower mount as well as the swaybar endlink mount onto the new strut from my stockers. I also welded a couple parts around the strut so even if that mount fails, the strut won't fall through again. Probably not necessary, but the peace of mind is nice.       And just for good measures... Just finished these up today. Last part of my wheels I needed to complete.

After a few performance runs, I have decided that my current suspension handles better than any set of my coilovers ever did. This is probably due to the fact that my coilovers were slammed way past where they were meant to be for performance, and usually I messed with preload slightly, but still. I can't even believe how well these things handle. I am able to raise the car to a pretty high PSI to the height that the car was supposed to be driven to perform well, where everything in the suspension works the way it's supposed to. I am officially converted.
