Hi All,

I just had some Eibach springs fitted to new Sachs dampers.

The car looks vastly better but I ‘think’ I have spotted an issues.

On one of the rear dampers item 1 is still on the old part but not on the second. They are also still on both fronts.

I don’t think that is.a problem on the fronts as the Sachs fronts seem to have their own lip there.

However on the back the Sachs don’t have this bit. Or maybe they have a thicker silver pole to make up for this…see attached.

Then there is number 2, I can understand why these were missed but aren’t these.meant to slide over the new shocks? The new shocks.are smooth at the top where these push over, whereas the OEM are slightly more hollow.

Are these a problem or not ?
