Well I'm glad they made you some kind of deal. I couldn't get no kind of discount or nothing of the sort. Even after I had my car on jack stands for about 2 weeks, emailing and calling back and forth, going to local shops for assistance.....smh....

I switched back to coil overs and my BMR springs are now for sale. I'm very happy with my coil overs fitment.

I could have bought the new design front springs and sent back my old ones. There was not guarantee that it would fix my problem so I decided to go another route and I'm very happy with my choice.

Finally got these in and I'm having the exact same issue. The top of the spring doesn't seat correctly and is rubbing the cone/washer that sits below the isolator.
I prob won't get anywhere with this company considering I bought them in the fall.

Wish they'd offer me something. They told me to cut my springs.

There is some mis-communication here. I asked you to call me & you never did. We've exchanged a few pm's but you have given me very little info.

I've been told that 1.25" lowering springs is the cutoff to causing issues, any lower and you enter the strain zone.

Incorrect, a Stock Shock should handle up to a 1.5" Drop
