I'm no exception here... and your question makes me think you're possibly unfamiliar with this massive (after)market. There are tens of 1,000s of folks/enthusiasts/customers like me out there buying 1,000s more aftermarket springs, wheels, spacers, turbos, exhausts, intakes, brakes, etc. from H&R, KW, MSS, Pure Turbo, GruppeM, Dinan, APR, Burger, Racechip, Evolve, etc.

This is a huge market and one in which you pay to play. That price is paid in both $$$ amount and risk. Some vendors offset the risk with warranties--most don't. The risk is *mine*, not the supplier that I asked to source me lowering springs and install them.

That said, Ben offered lots of advice, recommendations and experience... but no guarantees. Again: risk = mine.
Everyone thinks they are an M engineeer and race car driver and love to judge threads like this. Maybe they first need to get a car and realize its probably never going to hit the likes of the Ring or even put the limits that you place your car at. And then they judge the installer.. LOL

Its your fucking car- do your thing mate.


Yup, I believe I was... did... have been... will... whatever.
