hey guys, this happened to me twice last track day, i guess my mounts were a bit rusty on the bottom hence when i hit a big bump, my struts broke through the inner ring on the mounts, so i replaced my mounts, but in case it happenes again, in order to get home safely, this little thing would help to be handy, just throw it on to drive on the highway in order to get home (its dangerous to drive home with only springs, trust me haha), do NOT daily drive on this, if you hit a curb you’ll deform your strut/struttower

Well in any case you will fail a proper tech inspection at the track anyway …
