Title: Rear mk1 golf Coils
Post by: Etches on June 05, 2013, 11:24:02 am

Had mine on for about a year now and they have been ok, apart from the fact I can't raise the back any higher without compressing the helper spring so much the back end becomes a bungee over bumps. Taking the helper out will make the ride lower so thats not really a solution. Its like the adjustable range for the coils are 70mm to 120mm . Having just got some et 18 wheels I need the back end a touch higher so I can sort out the arches etc and not scrape my pricey exhaust on every speed bump!

Any tips or help would be great.

Cheers

Etches

that dont work Andy as the damper rod holds the strut cap at the same point. needs a spacer put in between the strut cap and the body
