looks much beeter than the oem look but mine is alow as it will go at the rear about 1 cm of clearance and have lowered the front loads and it sits lower at the front and it handles great! and imo looks so much better slammed!

rear hubcentric spacers make a huge diffrence on looks and handling and arent too exspensive and makes the rear look lower!

yeh it does handle loads better now but the gap is more on the drivers side than the passangers? bout 10-15mm and it shows! even though they are both wound right down, does this mean my car is bent or something?

(rubber mount at the top of spring under arch)
(spring sitting ON the axle properly?)

yeh the nut is wound right down on both sides which is under the spring, they're definately both at the bottom. Wot else could cause the difference? are yours level all round?

It's rare, but I've known people to have been supplied the wrong kit for the car and it has this affect..

For example, 6N Polo with a 6N2 kit sits alot higher even though the coilover is right the way down, everything will bolt up however.

actually that is a good idea, im taking it back to where it was fitted tomorrow so ill c wot they say about that. Hav u done that on yours?

No I havnt, just telling you could depending the stucture of eibachs rear spring/shocks builtup. Theres no point in taking the piece of in my case since I cant get the front ones any lower - car wouldnt sit level..

might sound silly, but have you got different tyres on each side of the rear? if one is brand new and the other isnt that could do it.

Are there platforms that the rear springs sit on? If so, whip them out!

I found my KW v1s wouldn't go low enough on the back, so took the platform out and it went to the perfect height.

The springs may be a bit loose while the cars in the air but when its on the ground, they won't move anywhere!

I have also KW v1.
I've been told to do the same what you are saying but I doubt it's healthy for the shocks:confused:
And what about extreme drivingstyle...will the springs stay at their place?
