I've had a set of Sachs for about a year. They bottom out frequently. Too frequently. The front spring coils are touching for nearly half of the spring out of the box. Coils that touch offer zero compression. If they touch out of the box, add zero rebound.

To get a sense what I'm talking about, here's a photo that Tony (tvacc) provided in another thread. The coilover in the foreground is for the front.



However I notice with the photos posted by Shinoo, the coils don't appear to be touching as badly although perhaps it's perspective.

Shinoo, can you read the part number that is on the springs in the Sachs setup? I want to compare them to the ones I bought last year. Thanks.
