Hey everyone! I just recently bought a pair of Solo Werks coilovers and had them installed about two weeks ago. Didn't slam the car all the way down just so I could give them time to adjust. I also had the strut mounts and bearings replaced with some Febi ones.
Well I finally tried to lower the front the other day but the passenger side wont go any lower than 63.1 cm FTG (24.8 in) with only 2-3 threads left to go down. The driver side did get lower but I adjusted it to 63.2 cm FTG (24.8 in) to match the passenger side.
I already checked the struts to make sure they were seated all the way down on the spindle/knuckle and they are.
Anybody have some ideas of what could be the problem? Is there any pre-adjustments that had to be done before installing them? Also, these are the model that don't come with the helper springs, just in case someone was going to mention that.
Here are some pics of both sides for reference. Thanks
