first off make sure you put them on correctly and not the fronts in the backs or whatever...and do you have stuff in your trunk?

just cause it's done at the dealer doesn't mean the tech who did it wasn't going through a divorce and drank a 6 pack before he did your springs. either way, they are very easy to swap out on these cars. I think it's cause the box in your trunk is very heavy. if you're feeling up to it, cutting the fronts JUST A TAD won't hurt anything. (I said just a tad, any more and it will be dangerous)

you took it to the dealer? how much did they ass rape you for that?

the extra weight in the rear would obviously cause the rear to be lower.

I want you to go in every thread about springs and tell them to cut there springs. Less stupid members on this site like you, the better.

aw come on...going higher sucks. I guess another solution would be to take some fuel line, cut it down the middle and wrap it around the bottom coil. old drag racing trick.

so anyway, katsu. like I said, if you're not gonna miss that hella flush rear and don't mind going back up to match the front just put some rigid hose around the bottom coil. either that or put something under the spring on the bottom perch just make sure it doesn't go higher than that lip that keeps the spring in place.

B&G makes some crappy stuff if you ask me. I would have recommended progress, pedders or SSC
