has anyone had their kw springs fail on them. the top part of my springs have bent downwards. kind of hard to explain but check out the pics below. i can move the top perch/mount around the the spring wont come up, pretty much stuck like that.

one of the guys at kw said "After looking at your photos I have had other Audis that fail the run the rear perch. This to me looks like one of those scenarios due to the abrasion on the deformed portion. I can give you the part number and price or you can wait till Monday. It would not be ideal to drive the car as the spring does not appear to seat properly. "

Yeah, I did a set of KWs over the weekend and they should not look like that. When they were originally installed, were they fully seated on the spring perch before driving? It looks like they were binding big-time...
