I'm installing a set of rear Bilstein shocks and a set of Weltmeister 140lb springs in my car.
The Weltmeister springs are shorter then the stock springs. So the spring moves all around between the top and bottom spring holder. I haven't put the car down on the ground yet but I'm assuming it will set properly when I do. My question is do I need to worry about everything seating properly? Will the spring seat correctly in the top and bottom spring holder every time I raise and lower the car? Thanks Chris. 1972 1.7L Porsche 914 1973 2.0L VW Thing http://www.cassidy-online.com |

I was at a local PCA meeting once, held at the Bilstein warehouse in CT. We were told by their rep. that a bump rubber is required. I think only a small rubber/plastic spacer may be needed to prevent the internals from bottoming and damaging the valve assembly, nothing as big as the original Boge bump rubbers.
