Ok here are the pics and the problem is there is leakage in the box. Now I am overseas so this is jsut what my mom showed and told me. It's oily and in every box. Im thinking its just a coating on the struts but I jsut wnat to be sure. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

Here's the unofficial Gravana Coilover Thread. There was a couple of people who had those issues as well and I believe they contacted Gravana and got it taken care of.

That really doesn't help I don't have tim eo tread all 7 pages but fomr the first 2 the only problems were one was blown and toe and camber. No one states if they found oil in there box like mine. Was your box like mine or was it bone dry. Let me know. Plus were your struts oily or were they bone dry. I highly doubt all 4 of mine are blown the odds of that happening are slim to none I hope.

Ok I talked to my dad. Gotta love the satalite phoen on the ship well he took the top mount off and the spring off and told me that when h compressed teh struts they all rose back up pretty fast. The fronts (the leaking ones) rose faster then the rears. Also all of the damper adjusters turned and clicked very faintly they said but they heard it. If anyone can comfirm that they are good let me know.

Well I'm not sure about the oil that was actually on the box, but the threads on the struts actually SHOULD NOT be bone dry. At least the Tein SS' I got specifically stated not to clean them. Since a coil-over is a coil-over, if its just the threads on the strut that are oily/greasy, I dont think Id worry. Id still wait for actual gravana coil-over owners to chime in though.

Thanks a bunch guys. I was kinda worried after spending that much on them. Plus the fact that i'm millions of miles away from them so I can't jsut look at them and test them.

i should also mention that my struts have been dry and oil free on the outside , since i cleaned the oil off from assembly

so there is no leaks of any kind
