Here's a good reminder as to why they're not reliable suspension components:

Who did that install? What about the extra holes there? All these pictures look more like bad install, too much torque or an accident (big pothole, hit a big curb etc.) to me.

PS: No, i don't have a D2 nor a K-Sport coilover.

agreed. Whats with the extra holes and 2 of the stock mounting points not having anything? If anything it looks like it was related to a bad install or someone throwing coilovers for a different model on there.

Actually looking at it more it looks like some ricer that slammed it to the ground so he had no travel and then abused it until the coilover tore on of the stock mounting points. As a solution they just drilled new holes in the upper strut tower and bolted it in. Im sure the coilover bending had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it was not traveling at the same angle as the control arms.
