Title: MK4 Coilover fitting
Post by: linzi on 15 February 2009, 18:11

Putting sum coilovers on my mk4 but they dont seem to fit!!! When putting the coilovers on there doesnt appear to be much thread left under the bonnet to tighted the bolt onto. i got some new top mounts with seperate bearings. also they are a tight fit into the cast sleave that u have to seperate!! any ideas??

Fitted mine last weekend without any problems,are you sure you bolted the top mounts right on? Wind the springs down and have a look.You need a hub splitter to split the hub,i just used an allen key what i grinded down.
