I have the BC's which I believe are made by the same company and mine are holding up fine, but THINK I heard Matt blew his out. You may want to send him a PM to confirm if he does not respond soon.

DO NOT BUY THESE. I need to update thread. Mine blew out and I had terrible customer service experience. I had to pay $300 to have them rebuilt after less then 5000 miles.

BC's are made better according to BC. They claimed Megan builds theirs to lesser quality specs.

Good to know Matt. The only trouble I had with my BC's was my fault.
I overtightened the top nut and stripped the shaft.

Probably right. Look at all the price differences, you get what you pay for in this business, but everyone says their stuff is the shits till they fall apart and you are the one that is put out. Seen it too much,all

It's all good, I had Odi at Feal suspension rebuild and tune them with better seals and oil. Now they are great. Just a bummer that they blew so early. Megan did send me replacements but only after I fought with them. They took 8 weeks to get. lol.

Older XA's had the same problem, well 1% of them anyway, bad seals, since have been upgraded I hear. Maybe the rest of the brands to?

You'd be helping out more if you edited your post #1 and put this same update at the top of it. Most, many, almost all reading this thread are likely to miss this little tidbit you just posted.
