Koni Coilover Issue

<center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2403/2505298017_b4bbefc9c9.jpg"></center><p>Hello fellow TT drivers! I looked through the forums and could not find anyone with this exact issue. I recently installed Koni 1150-5057 with Neuspeed sway bars. I checked and rechecked the assemby of the shocks and this is what I get when I lower it down on the tires. Any ideas?

its not the coilovers, you should have replaced the strut bushings while doing the swap

they tend to waer opver time, but either way they dont look too bad.

LOL...Yeah...>

Normal, especially if you replaced the strut bushing with a no-name import (or didn't replace it at all..)

It's fine.....>>

Bushings have some variance in size if not OEM
Don't obsess about this..
