All you dummies out there that bought 17's.

Jk. When I put my BMR springs on, I'll have a set of my '18 springs I'll sell when that time comes. I'm assuming that will work correct? Just swap '17 springs with '18 springs?

The springs are like 31.00 bucks lol

Just had this work done - not exactly sure what to think.

FR - 27.5"
FL - 28.5"
RR - 28.5"
RL - 27.5"

The ride height definitely looks correct at 27.5", but I have these offsetting corners and just think something might be completely off. Anyone else seeing variation side to side?

Something's not right there. Either your surface isn't flat or the stance is off. Mine was 27.5" front and 28" rear after the spring update.

Make sure you have same part number on the front springs.. not a convertible or older spring on 1 side.

Good point here. The way the bulletin is worded seems like someone ordering the springs could easily be misled into thinking those different numbers could be for left and right. I was definitely confused.

How long did it take for most of you to see the springs quit settling? I had mine done today and the edge of the rim lip to the bottom of the fender lip is appx 11cm. I thought it would be less.

Mine hasn't settled any lower since install. 27.5" from floor to fender.

That's about 1/2" lower than mine. If you get a chance can u also measure from wheel lip to fender?

Has anyone noticed more drop after a few weeks of being replaced?

1st dealership I went to made it a pain... wanted me to come back a few days later and leave the car with them for 2-3 hours.

Went back across town to where I bought the car, they didnt hear about this issue but they had a tech "look" at it quickly, then researched the service bulletin as they called it and ordered the springs. They took care of the issue the way all service centers should have.

Does it matter what drive mode the car is in to check the clearance?
