mk 4 cupra coilovers?!

[cupra.al]

that is strange ive still got 15 threads left on the front come out to it today and the suspension has settled quite a bit but im not getting bad sounds from the car atall.
in your previous post you said your 2cm from the bottom how can that be if you have 16 threads left?

Hmm, strange, an bloody annoying. I adjusted both fronts this morning to having 16 threads, the noisye isn't as bad as it was, but definitely still drivers side drive shaft knocking ARB..

needs helpers maybe?
spring come away from top mount when jacked up?

Nope everything tight, ARB doesn't move side to side etc do don't think it's the bushes.

Just hoping shorter droplinks move the ARB outta the way, if not gonna have to look more.

Hmm, damn strange..
Just had a look on ukpolos and on somebodys 9n3 GTi with AP's he had the same problem as me and bought some other droplinks too, so just waiting on EuroCarParts now, and will see how things go from there..

Update in case anybody searches:

AP Coilovers on a Cupra, in my case required mondeo (2003) drop-links to stop the ARB hitting the driveshaft, probably about 1cm shorter than standard, so perfect, not stupidly short that messes up angles of anything etc.
