    KW Variant 3 installation questions..

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So, i finally got a set of coilovers for the avant! KW Variant 3's . I was planning on installing them myself by following the DIY on A4mods.com. Ive read the DIY many times, so i feel as if i have a good grasp as to how to actually install them on the car... my question though is how the hell do i even assemble them? i got them used, so i have no instructions, and they came in a million pieces. i was wondering if anyone has a link that has instructions, or if anyone could kinda talk me through it. i know i can install them once they are assembled correctly but i feel as dumb as a bag of rocks just sitting here staring at them. so, anyone who has these and has installed them themselves, or anyone whos not as much of a retard as me, any help here would be very appreciated. id like to avoid 500-600$ to pay a shop to do it. Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: actually, i basically know how they go together with a spring compressor and such, i just dont know what these do, or where the go??

    those are your rear spring perches. they go on top of the spring with the purple part facing down (like you have them sitting)

    to adjust them you put a spanner wrench in the notches of the perch, and an allen key in the black part of the perch (to hold it still) and simply turn left or right to go up/down

    you say they go on top of the springs, but in the DIY on a4 mods, he puts the stasis ones on the bottom, is it different for the KW's?

    yes the stassis one are different. they are much harder to adjust on the car. everytime i've adjusted mine i had to put the car up on jacks and drop down the rear subframe. those look some much easier to use.
