URGENT FK COILOVERS

[JamieBoulton]

Hello, I am
Currently fitting FK coilovers thee new coilovers won't fit into the hub, has anyone had this issue?

 

[hades-]

have you got the correct ones ?

any pictures ?

 

[JamieBoulton]

Yeah checked modeL specs. Old ones are 49mm new are 54.

You need 50mm struts not 55mm's.

You've ordered the wrong size basically.

 

[DPM]

As above, you've ordered the wrong size front strut diameter.

Sorry to but in another thread but is there a rule on the strut diameter as in certain engine sizes or some specs have the different sizes

Unfortunately it is not 100% accurate, you can recognise strut diameter from brake caliper - more here http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=416862 .
As said, I have 1.9 tdi 2003, same as my friend and we each have different struts, just because mine is sport version and his not.
