KW Variant2 Coilover questions
**IGNORE**
Long story short, some b!t*h hit me back in October and damaged my driver front Progress Tech strut. Since Progress no longer makes coilovers for our cars, the b!t*h's insurance company got to buy me a brand new set of coilovers (yay for me!). I went with KW's, but unfortunately the shop my car was sitting at installed them.
For those that have these installed, do you have a 1/4 inch spacer under the nut on the top of both shock towers in the rear? I have one on the driver side and nothing on the passenger side. Also, I noticed some fluid sitting in the 2mm allen damper adjuster on top of the driver rear.
Again, since this shop did the install on these, I don't know what came in the box or what they could have done during install (totally sucks!). Am I missing a washer from the kit? Does anyone else have this fluid leak?
My back end is totally off as far as level. If I have the driver side up 9 threads and the passenger side up 3 threads, I'm even. I know they're not settled yet, but I'm also wondering if the spacer/fluid things have anything to do with this.
