Lol, I know man but I was driving! That's far enough out that I'm hoping I would have my drop issue done by then.

have you tried jackin' it up & tried turning the spring around the strut and putting it back on the ground? It literally could just be how the spring is sitting on the purch itself.

are we talking on the front one or rear? i did that with the rear. completely took the spring out and reinstalled it. I though the springs were pre-compressed on the strut on the fronts so i didn't think i can just move it without removing it first! maybe i'll take both front wheels out and look to see if there is a difference on how they're sitting on the purch.

on a related note, generally speaking, with springs or coilovers, do they take time to settle every time you lift the car like they do when you first install them?

Man.. still having issues with the spring. Sounds like one or two is not seated right. I went ahead and ordered the rear camber. I am researching which plenum spacer to get. I read that there is adjusting that is necessary to the valve at certain times and if I am not going to drive my car in winter should I get the copper one. You guys who have this have any feedback?

with temps in MN, even if you don't drive in winter you never can predict how cold it will get, I would go w/ the ISO Thermal spacer. I looked into this quite a bit when i had my 06...was going to get the 5/16". I believe if my memory is correct you can still fit the stock intake cover back on with the 5/16 but not the 1/2.

Good call on the SPC kit.

It is compressed, but you can still twist it with a little bit of muscle when the car is jacked up.
