    Thank you for the video... I put coil overs on my 2018 GTI SE. I work crazy hours so ... I dont have as much time to fix things.. The messed up part... The kit says to only re-use the top rubbers... I am thinking they don't expect people to take out the bottoms since they are so hard to remove.. I removed the bottoms. Next weekend I will add them back. Thank you in advance.. I really hope it works..

    Could you experience this problem even with stock suspension? I have been hearing a clunking sound in the trunk of my mk7 GLI that I think has happened from the crappy roads here where I am at.

    … I put the rubber bit on top of the spring
    Could that be causing the noise?

    I had BC’s on my mk6 Jetta and those clunked like mad. Once I did those bolt spacers on the bottom of the strut it took care of the issue

      @@mikeschafer4440 hm weird. It ended up being just my rear driver side strut the bolts were loose. It still clunks over big bumps but not too bad i can live with it. Also you said your springs clunk. What I would do is make sure the top mounts in the front are tight because they can be loose. And also, a very common problem to springs clunking is the two locking nuts used to adjust the height on the coilovers aren’t tight. Make sure they are tight and locked together

    Just remember those bolts are tq to yield so really they should be replaced each time they are removed.

      Nicko Vdub I suppose so but I’ve taken these out of pretty much every car I’ve had and put them back in and had no issues at all, I’m sure VW say this to cover them selves and Thanks for the info
