KW... what material is the height adjustment collars made of?

I heard they were plastic...

My guess would be anodized aluminum. The people to ask would be those who installed a swift spring conversion, as I think they need to be machined down to fit the new spring.

I REALLY doubt that anything on a kw setup is plastic, as they are truly weatherproof and are a great suspension system.

my v2's on the jetta were made out of plastic, up front. The threads were seized up and I busted a couple pieces of plastic off when I was raising the car back up. I was very disappointed with KW at that point.

They are anodized aluminum. I adjusted mine last week.

I was told plastic... that is one reason I bought the FK siliverline plus X coilovers

Plastic adjustment collars? No, these are anodized aluminum as Jon said.

The KW Coilover Shocks boast anodized aluminum spring collars for all-season durability and sharp looks!
