Mine are like mrskylighters and have a revised bracket, and also came with a set of front swaybar links that were 2 inches shorter than the factory ones so that the swaybar clears the lower control arm.

I have read one or two others having this issue, if you search through the suspension section of the forum, I think there is a way to rectify it floating around.

Hey mate, nah it had them on when I received the car so they could be +3 years. That's interesting though, thanks for letting me know! I might have to get mine remanufactured.
I have you gas strut too! I'm going to try and find some packing material at work and let you know what it'll cost :)

Did you just buy these coilovers? Brand new?

I fitted a set that I bought the other day and the drop link doesn't touch at full lock.
Judging by the pic it appears you have the older design. They revised the drop link bracket a couple of years ago I think. Mine dont look like yours.

Here's how it looks (the link is pressing into the bracket there, about 3/4 of way to lock

Hey all was trying to fit the twosrus sway bar link kit to my adub, and the kits fouled so bad I couldn't turn full lock, which seemed weird.
So I put the factory ones back in and sure enough they foul too! Have any other adub owners had issues with the BC's? Seems odd it'd be so out
