From the title I thought you were announcing a VW event in California!  Sounds like it would have been fun . . .

Subject: GoWesty Spring Bonk

Hi all,

I did my own GW 1.5" lift spring install last fall and upgraded to
bilsteins in the process.

I've noticed over the last couple months that the front coils have started
to make a slight "ba-bong" when i get in or take the occasional speed bump.

I had trouble getting the upper rubber spacer into place - could this have
slid around and maybe the coils are not seated correctly? anyone else have
this issue?

thxs, jvk
