Skunk2 Coilovers Sitting TOO HIGH!!???

[DSMpwr25]

I bought these coilovers looking to get the slammed look with the performance aspect but after putting the car on the ground it sits higher then stock??? I have at least 4in of wheel gap all around. THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A SKYJACKER KIT ON IT Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Heres a list of my mods, I will post pics up later.

2G TSI AWD
Full Poly bushing Kit
Rm swaybars
Tokico blues
Skunk2 coilovers

Also the coilovers are ALL THE WAY DOWN, theres tons of adjustment going up but NONE going down.

Aren't spring supposed to settle after some time? Wait a while and they should squat down. I've never had a set of skunks but I have had other sets of spring sag after breaking them in. Posts pics and let us see.

Yeah for sure it wont settle 4". 1-1.5" yes but not 4". Maybe you installed it wrong?!?! or maybe you go the wrong springs (ie different car). Anyways... just throwing shit out there. Post those pics up.. you'll get a lot more responses

As it was explained to me, "good" springs should never have to settle .

I know of at least 2 members who use these coilovers and while I don't know much about their performance, the drops worked out fine.

Are the collars binding or are they not fully seated maybe?
Are all 4 corners height-adjusted similarly? Just wondering if they all came out identical or if there was any significant differences between the corners.

I talked to a friend and he said some kits you have to knock the purches off the shocks to make them work properly. On all 4 corners the coils are all the way down, Im going to call Skunk2 tomorrow to see what could be my problem or if I really do have to knock the purches off. Will post pics up later today

Is there a preload type set up for the coilovers?

 

[DSMpwr25]

Problem solved, knocked the purches off, car sits low now, not as low as I want but good enough
