Just lowered the car on CM's springs

I don't have a picture but you all know what it looks like. I am posting here because I just wanted to say how great their customer service is and the quality of the springs. They had accidentally sent out the wrong pair and then sent me the correct pair free of charge. I recommend Canuck Motorsports to anyone wanting to lower your car. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Coils are tighter on the bottom, I bought them CM themselves and not from ZZP, it took a few days and I had them. Here are pictures; not the greatest though.





BEFORE, Check out that monster truck!

Nothing binds, I did it with my friend. We didn't even have the proper tools and we did it in a little over an hour.

If you mean shipping, do not worry. I have them and they shipped from their location to Phoenix in 4 days. I also second the OP's remarks about their service - I send an e-mail in because I was getting a little noise after the install, and he called me that afternoon. (appears noise is related to the insulators, not springs)

He also told me the tighter coils should be mounted up, but it shouldn't matter in the long run. Those coils actually bind together when the car sits, they are only there to ensure the spring can expand to full length and not come off the mounts when going over big bumps (or getting airborne ).

1" front, 1.5" rear. You will not have to replace any shocks or struts.

thanks for mentioning about the insulators. I had noise in the back, but I just went to Lowe's Hardware to made my own rubber silencers and brought in the back down to a minimum. CM's services is A+ services and the manager is awesome and easy going.

Turns out I need to flip my rear springs. Lol, Oh well. It takes like 15 minutes. I recommend CM, I have nothing but good to say. Buy a set. They ride so nice.

Looks good. I'm putting mine on tomorrow.
I also got them directly from CM. Shipping only took a week to me here in PA.

Pretty much, yeah. Can't speak for the other makers, but the CM springs in the rear have bound coils as the car sits, but of course for good reason.

I just installed mine yesterday.
It is a good looking drop. And a perfect rake also.
