@02SilverSiHB Ahhh, I finally get what you’re saying now. The Revel strut is threaded into a sleeve and to adjust the height, you loosen the ring and turn the entire strut, and that way, you’re not messing the preload of the springs. The HKS, KW and even Öhlins doesn’t have that. I see I see.

Just for comparison, I had Koni coilovers on my GTI, and it’s the same as the HKS. You adjust the height by turning the 2 rings that the springs sit on. Just make sure the springs sit snuggly. Pic below of the Koni coilvers for reference.

Omfg. Dude revel turns at the bottom where it bolts into the chassis. Jesus omg lmao I don't what to do to prove it to you. I've owned both revel and hks. They are NOT the same for adjustment.

See this vid... this is how revel is adjusted. Go to 2:50 HKS does not have this...please for the love God tell me you guys get it now lmao
I understood what you were saying. I was simply saying they're different. You can always sell them if you're not happy.
