Depending on where you are in Canada (how close you are to the border)
I'd get a P.O box in the nearest US City and have them delivered there, unpack and put the springs in my trunk.

Report!

In short the springs do not work with MRC. I have emailed Phastek directly with my findings. The front springs are the ones that do not work.

I did install the spacers, and with alignment, it looks pretty good I think. It would of been perfect if the springs worked!

The reason I went with 25mm, is that these are spacers that have studs off of them and I did not want to have to trim the factory studs to be able to go into the pockets in the back of the OEM wheels. 20mm was the next lower option and I think the oem studs would of hit in the wheel pockets.

What was not working with the fronts? perch, mounting plate?

I got your pictures to the manufacturer. Going to see what we can do about it.

From what I can tell the top of the spring and the top of the mount are different between MRC and Non-MRC cars.

We are going to get it figured out!!

MGD · 03-10-2016, 01:05 PM

I figured that there might be a difference between the two. It will be just a different set for the MRC cars. The way I see it, there should not be a problem with the ride height of the car. What happened when I put some weight in the trunk that lowers the rear for one inch? The MRC should still work as normal.
