A proper company would do a ton of R&D on what happens to the chassis when you switch over to the true type coilover before ever releasing them to the public. If their R&D department can't make a failure happen in 300k miles (random number) of rigorous testing, I personally feel that they are perfectly fine for the end users they are targeting.

The Doran team that used 370's in the Continental Tire Challenge use a true type coilover only. Granted, those cars have a cage, but if Nissan directly is okay with using true type coils on a factory-built car, I have no issues doing it to mine.
