You cannot get these springs to ride as low as the H&R's in the rear regardless of the spring pad used.

My 2002 C32 has #2 pads installed. Anyone in Socal want to trade their #3's for my #2's ?
You can tell which ones you have by looking under the car with a flashlight at the upper spring perch. The rubber pad will have "pimples" on the edge facing down. The number of "pimples" is the pad#.

anywayz, ***** I need opinions.
as you know I took the car in for service to get the front squeaking noise fixed, but they said the part won't get here till next monday at least. I want to get the spring installed this week so I can go and have a little photoshot w/ a friend w/ the M3 before he leaves the country for 2 months on Saturday. What do you guys think I should do? should I wait for the service thing to be done w/ or just install'em tomorrow. Will the dealership guys know if I lowered the car and not follow through on the parts change?

Nice try Frank, but Canyon's wheels are now on my car!! Same wheels with two owners. Looks like we are both too cheap to buy new! or just can't pass up a good deal. The street price on the Monolite's are around $3,300.00

Get the squeek fixed first so there is no warrenty questions asked and they will know that the squeek came from stock suspension causes. Install the springs at an independent mechanic who will charge you significantly less than the dealer.
