Last month I swapped out the blown Koni Reds from my '96 VR sedan with Bisltein HDs The PO also cut both the front and back springs by one coil to lower the car so I swapped in a different set of springs I had from a previous B4 and MK3 project.
As you can see the rear end is quite lower than the front. I measured the front distance from the top of the wheel well fender arch to the ground at 24.5 inches. The rear measured 22.5 inches.
I have 2 theories on the matter and would like to pass them by the gurus before I purchase new springs. First off, I'm not positive the company I bought the rear struts from sent me the correct ones. Ill double check the stamped part number later this evening. I'm also going to measure the distance from the bolt hole at the bottom of the strut to the bottom of the spring plate to see if the distance matches the OEM struts I have laying around.
My second thought is that these springs are beat. They have 205xxx miles on them so being worn out could be the likely reason.
Any expert opinions?
