Re: [VW-TECH] Coilovers & suspension travel

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>Just out of curiosity; Did you have any clearance problems with the CV joint 
when you raised the strut mounting tabs? Are you using 100mm joints or 90mm? 
I cut the weld on the lower spring perch and rewelded it about an inch 
lower. It helped quite a bit. I know I decreased my travel by doing this but 
i do have Bilstein Sports and it seems ok except for the nice wonderful 
potholes here in Seattle!
