    Just fitted these took me 2 days cos of the stupid british weather...any way I do have a couple of questions if any one can answer them.

    1) Ive got the back strut and spring on all nice and tight and torqued up but on the adjusting rings ive got them set at 8 threads from the top which is about 1 inch, the thing is the right side is about 5mm lower than the left side?

    2) What has other people got there car set at?

     each corner needs to be adjusted individually as each corner has a different weight. for example the gear box is set to one side (passenger side on mk4) id imagen the fuel tank is set more to one side too. hence why the car is sitting slightly lob sided.

    if i were you, id set the ride quite high at first. to allow for the suspension to settle down a bit. then after a week or so id make the final adjustments.
