Default Calling all True Coilover rear suspension users

Hey guys, I spent a while searching, and short of finding some very interesting arguments that tend to contradict each other with no real long term evidence of either side being right, Im looking for actual users of True Coilover rear suspension users to chime in.

So right now I have one of the only sets of MCA True Coilover custom Red sets for the 370Z in the USA and Ive been a bit leery of using them since they are a true coilover setup for the rear.

I am concerned about the rear shock tower and mushrooming. The car is a 2010 Nismo and is a weekend ride that spends most of its miles in the canyons and mountains.

So for the long term users, have you guys noticed any issues? Are there any rear shock tower reinforcement mods available like on the BMW? Im aware of the G-Spec rear shock tower bar, but Im talking about plates that get installed between the upper shock mount and the body to help prevent mushrooming.

MCA set these up to be linear but they claim the valving is much better than other true coilover designs with a much better bumpstop design to help reduce the chance of any sort of chassis fatigue.

So am I being paranoid or could true coilover rears cause issues over time?
