KW V1 question
 
Just got a new set of KW v1 coilovers. My question here is why one of the struct tab is bent while the other one is not. Is it the design or the defect?

The one that bent.

But if it's the design(I heard that's where the brake lines), I don't want to bend it straight.:icon17: I just want to see if anyone knows before I install them.

The first and 2nd pic are bent.

I have KW v3's

It's obviously bent due to it probably being damaged during packaging or shipment.

Look at your stock shocks and compare them.

^^Yup I see it now. It should be easy fix? Strange I don't see any damage around that area beside bent...

They are very easy to bent you may want to install them first then straighten them b/c you may bent them installing the coil over.

Haha I see. BTW, these are the brake line brackets that let the brake line going through it right?
