damnit, my digi-cam took a crap so i have a pic of a stock front spring setup, which is EXACTLY what my ST's look like (that have the sticker "front only" on them) and then the other ones look just like the "bigger" ones in the second shot of actual ST springs. what is wrong with my set???????? AHHHHH!!! they were seated well and everything just BOWING and raising my car. they obviously dont fit. is it possible i could have gotten a mixed up package? askdjfkaf but then again the ones for the front look just like the ones on the car now. i am so lost ahhaha

Look on the side of the coils. I know on the Eibachs' there is a part #, and a spring rate number. Compare those #'s to the ones listed on the box.

First page.
It's the only thing that made sense.
Enjoy the new ride.

Since this was their error, have they done anything to make up for it? Consider how many days your project was delayed w/your car off the road, how many labor and research hours, etc. I would ask them what they are going to do to make me a happy customer again.

nah, i boxed them back up and took them to the shop i bought them from. the shop already sent them back with no problem, and is actually getting them from another dealer now. i dunno, it wasn't any trouble. i'm not mad or anything. i just want my car to run right now, i dont really care about the springs that much.
