Yes, me too. After replaced my 16V front struts with Bilstein, the front wheel-well looks like a pick-up truck now. I really hated it. Any one knows the answer to this!!!

lol...you guys using the right shocks? ;)

If you put on an aftermarket shock that is stronger than the original, then it could raise the chassis somewhat. The coil springs determine the chassis height but a strong shock can actually raise the chassis a LITTLE bit.
