Bonrath strut bearings update...

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

This may be a problem then...  Maybe I will just have to make some spacers
so that it does not lower the car?

  I will look at them when they come, but I don't think I will cancel the
order for them without knowing if there is something I can do to correct the
'problem'...

Thanks for the responses...

David

I have the Bonrath strut bearings along with H&R Coilovers on one of my
Sciroccos and boy is it low.  Both items offer lowering capabilities so
I'm not sure which is contributing more but it is about 1-1/2" lower
than my other Scirocco with just the H&R Coilovers, although I have 16"
wheels with 205/45 tires on that one.

HTH, Don

Hmmmm.  I remember talking to a salesman from CFI Motorsports at
Waterfest 2002, and he said the Bonrath strut bearing they sell would
lower the car 1 1/4".  Someone who has them installed on their car speak
up!
