Any issues withH&R coilovers?

Any of you guys using H&R's full coilovers system have any issues with struts blowing out quickly??? I had these on my previous E92xi and both of the rear struts blew out on me within 2 years/30k miles on regular street driving never tracked. I really liked the ride quality for daily driving and would like to use them again on my e90 335i but a little hesitant on going with this set again.

i've hard of similar issues, but 30k some struts go even on KW etc. The thing with the H&R is the rear install is a little tricky on xi. And don't forget about wintertime and harsh elements the H&R could rust

I am about to go with these too..and have heard the same things. The rears are exposed to the elements..this is one of the minuses over KW V1's
I would rather risk elements after two years vs possible squeaking issues people have complained about with the KW's

If you were happy for two years.. I would go back to them

The ride comfort was awesome on the H&R's, IMO perfect for street driving performance it was little stiffer than sport suspension they weren't noisy either until the rear struts blew

I do remember a little corrosion after 2years mainly on the rears, is their some type of coating I can have done to prevent corrosion & rust? or is it not worth it?

I had the same problems, replaced both rear struts within 2 years 20k miles. The rear height adjustable collars broke In half and replaced both sides. The ride is very smooth, but I got so sick of it, so I already sold the coil overs.
