Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is critical for the B8 Sprint's longevity. This damper is designed specifically for vehicles running lowering springs; ensure your spring kit is compatible with this specific damper series.
- Ensure the vehicle is properly supported on jack stands or a lift before attempting removal.
- Inspect all mounting hardware and top mounts; replace worn rubber bushings during installation.
- Verify the stroke length of the shock matches your lowering springs to prevent bottoming out.
- Avoid using high-impact tools on the piston rod threads to prevent internal damage.
- Periodically inspect the shock body for signs of leaks or damage to the dust boot.
