The reference the manufacturers place on the "Miles traveled" is just a guide for the springs to settle in. They will settle in after a few days regardless, the front springs due to the weight of the engine will settle in before the rear usually. Regarding the timing of the bushings, this is very important because when the car was assembled it has a preload already set in to the bushings. This is because when you change the factory height by placing lower springs you change the geometry of the suspension which was timed to a higher stance (this is what causes the preload on the bushings). Not performing the "timing of the bushings" could affect the finished height of the vehicle. When you loosen up the bushings and then bounce it a few times it will release the preload on them. Don't worry we at C5M guarantee all our work.
