lowered suspension height issues

[bennos17]

Hi all I have a B8 avant teknik trim and have recently put Vogtland 30mm springs on all round and it seems to be higher than before, and yes the springs are on the correct way up and the correct spring fitted to front and rear. 

just wondering if there is something im missing ? 

thanks 🙂

Hi are you sure they are the right springs for your model as a lot of the aftermarket interpretations of spring lengths can be very different also if you didn't change the damper units as well the damping piston throw could be way off especially with twin tube dampers its not unknown for the piston to hydraulically lock on the feed side where the relief valve in the unit can't do what its supposed to, thats why Bilstein shocks and springs are popular because they work with either lowered or standard ride heights.
