You should have no end link problems. I'm maxed in the front and have about 15-16 threads left in the rear and I have yet to have any issues. Install was easy and can be done solo. You'll love the ride!

Sweet! Thanks!

I need some help with my coilover install. The rears are making a clunking noise over bumps. Can someone take a picture of their rear coilovers?
Also, how many threads did you see on your setup when you bolted down the nut to the top screw above the top hat?
Thanks

Are you looking for a pic of the top part inside the trunk?

I didn't have issues with the install. Torq to the right specs and you should be fine

Means you need to tighten the nut more, using an impact gun will help.

I took the coilovers to one shop to screw the bolt down since it was clunking and it didn't do the trick and the decided to just bring the car to a reputable shop and the noises were fixed. I love the ride. I've been on eibach pro kit springs and those felt like stock. These coilovers feel BETTER than stock. Small imperfections aren't as harsh anymore.

I just received my set and the when I opened it, I was shocked to see the condition it had arrived in. I didn't take any detailed pictures of the multiple chips, but didn't notice any dents or damage. Did anyone else receive them in similar conditions and complain to ST support about it?

Pretty much everybody who ordered a set, lol. I opted to just keep it with the paint chips and such; I doubt it will cause anything to fail prematurely.

I know I'm digging this up, but:

DO NOT use an impact. You will snap off the top nut -the threaded portion is hollow and will absolutely break off even if you're careful with the impact. Do it right or it will cost you. The repair is $135+shipping from KW.

I used an impact and they're just fine.

Have had the coilovers on for over a month. No such issue.

Guys how did you go about adjusting these, I'm having a hard time. I can't get them at the tide height I want. 1"4in drop. Can anyone chime in as to how many threads I should leave in front and rear. Right now my right and left rear are different height s lol. And my front is higher than rear another lol.
