Glad to hear everything worked out okay and they were able to repair the mistakes. Good job by them taking responsibility (rare these days) for their mistake and getting it sorted.

I have to admit you had me paranoid, on the way to and from work I kept looking at the right rear deck to see if it was popping up while I was driving (it isn't)

Everything appears well. The ride is the way I want it to be. The height is at the moment ok. I think I have to take a few measurements just to be sure its fine. Next week I'm planning on heading over to turnermotorsports to have them do a look over which I asked them to do and they were fine with. Just got to give them a call next week.

Here are a few pics.

I wanted to thank Micheal, Pj, al ongvano and sdg - glad you had the time to ask and comment... that guy in the trunk trying to bust through was was intense... (see videos)

Now for a good detail and a long road trip.

Little vague in that area... I still have to make a slight height correction tomorrow or inspection. I want to count the threads on the front and rear. Need to know distance settling will go.
  1. There were parts that were still on the bmw sport suspension that were supposed to go on the rear coil overs that never made it over the first time. Luckily they were still in the box.
  2. The second issue was that the front coil overs have a black plastic covering that can be pushed up to reveal more threads!!! So that I can increase the height. They missed that the first time around. see photo
