EQT Balanced Line Coilovers Now Available!

[flipflp]

luckily it seems like the Bilstein shaft only snaps when the car is parked. I haven't read a single occurrence of it happening while car is driving.

Well I torqued it to their M14 spec of 54 ft lbs. Hopefully I'm not part of that 1% or whatever it is.

If ever there were a 'hold my beer' sort of statement...

torque incorrect vs correct isn't the issue.

I just mean for potential warranty in the future

ok here's a quickie...i finally installed my coilover last Wednesday. this i pretty solid and seems to be well built, so far I've put in about 350 miles and i can say they perform well. ride quality is good, not harsh even on the hardest setting. my turns are tight and reduced body roll is def noticeable.. adjusting the height in front is really easy but in th rear, you have to take everything apart cause you'll need to adjust the height of strut as well plus too much tension on spring for you to turn the adjuster.

few dislikes,

first is the height in the rear. they don't go low! i am very disappointed at this. i mea I'm not trying to slam the car to the ground, all i want is to have no gap between wheel and fender and this coilover doesn't achieve that. pic below is maxed out on all corners..

second is the front strut, it doesnt go all the way down the base of knuckle, its few cm short.. EQT said this is fine , its just odd cause I've never seen anything like it.

last is the adjustment knob on top of the front strut. at -1.5 camber, the knob will hit the strut tower. luckily i only needed -1.0 camber.

im hoping the rear will settle a little more cause i can't stand that gap lol

on the camber, maybe put a spacer between the top of the tower and the top of the camber plate? Then lower your ride height to compensate?

this might avoid cutting the tower. Ax guys get kicked out of STH if they cut.

And here I am just rolling the dice this weekend with my new PSS10s. I think it's so strange that they've had a half dozen identical issues and have thrown gas on the fire instead of wiping this up and taking care of people. Bad optics for sure, but I still think it's a good product. It's probably not even a 1% failure rate between B14/16 installs, but it's a bad failure when it is.

So,we should see an update on your build thread soon? I look forward to it.

Well now that I've been called out... They are installed, just waiting a week to adjust a few corners and get aligned.

hey Ed, here's a pic. i also used the videos on post #110 as guide to properly adjust the rear struts

thanks!

It looks like you still have a bit of room there above the upper perch. If you want more room, you can actually delete the very top adjuster ring. That's just there to lock the lower ring, but if you snug it up against the base itself, it'll have the same effect. If that's still not low enough, we can supply shorter rear springs.

Thanks

i just emailed you.

Yep! According to one of our beta testers, you can actually go quite a bit higher than stock

— Ed

This is fantastic news, as I got an Alltrack and frankly don't want to give up much, if any, of my stock height. But I DEFINITELY want a better peforming suspension, lol.

I will be getting these when my OEM struts die at like 30K miles.

When are you gonna support the 1.8 platform

thanks Ed!

Any resolution? One of the reasons I was thinking of EQT was from their great customer service but recently I’ve heard they aren’t so responsive from a few I’ve talked to that are dealing with ongoing...stuff.

Hoping that they have taken care of you. They are very active on FB btw...but I thought they were on here too...
