Are the rubber parts still on the top and underside of the strut? and have they perished?

Before I put coilovers on the Jetta the one side bottomed out qute easy because the rubber was knackered.

Now got an 80mm drop and no issues at all.

What tyres/offset are you running? As above, check the condition of the top mounts too.

Think something must be a bit knackered as I have cups on the same profile tyres and my rears don't scrub



Just my fronts :(

so it turns out its because my ATS Cups are deep dish so the wheels are much wider and wont sit under the arch like standard BBS or whatever, and I bet everyone knew that thats what Deep dish meant except me right?, so on go some coilovers :D
