Had a set of KW variant 1 coilovers installed about a month ago and have had some squeaking issues. I took the wheels off the fronts and felt/heard the plastic collar that separates the helper spring and regular one rubbing against the threaded portion. I contacted KW and tried all of their suggestions and guidelines with no success. I just had an alignment done because the steering wheel was crooked and when i asked the tech what he thought of my problem, he said that since the suspension is "spring height adjustable", the noise is unfix-able and that variant 1's are notorious for that. Can anyone attest to this statement? Any possible solutions?
