I'm not sure why Bilsteins QC varies so much when they are the OEM supplier for Nissan GTRs & Porsche for these type of suspensions.
I hear what you're saying, but at this point I wouldn't call my case a QC issue. The stock cables are known to be pretty fickle, so until that can be ruled out, I'm not going to call this instance a QC failure. Something tells me the shock top mount was over torqued and the cable is being pinched. I'm no automotive engineer, but in my opinion the rear shock cable location is pretty moronically designed and looks super prone to failure. Why would the front be designed to be easily unplugged and changed when the rear requires removing the shock? Stupid design.

Wasn't able to drop off my car yesterday, but most likely will today and have some update by Thursday.
