Thanks for taking these pictures. Are you having them send out a replacement set?

Thanks for the info Broke4speed as I never paid attention to the top hat being offset.

CSM diesel, you would have to cut 1/2 a coil off plus 6-7 cm. I called B&G and they want photos and said don't cut them or I'll void the warranty. They said they could
send a different set out to fix the problem.

OMG! That's really dangerous! B&G is having quality issues I think...

They admitted that these are the wrong springs for the car, replacements won't be in until the end of
the month.

Mine might be the part number listed on the website from when I was researching the part numbers for my build thread.
I will have to look inside my wheel well, to confirm.
I hope I can still see the numbers, cause the reddish cancer is one those parts now, with a little dusty patina too.

Mine are wrong too. The box has the right part number as well as make, model, and year. I got mine from auto anything. Should I contact the manufacturer?

60.1.020 is the part number for the complete set of springs. The part number for my front springs is 75827 (30/12) and yes contact b-gsuspensions direct.
(858)547-9555.

They seemed right when I installed them. The wheel gap is bigger in the rear giving me a 1" rake.

Thanks for the post. i really appreciate you bringing this up.

Another question. Is b&g sending a whole new set, or just the fronts. I don't want to disassemble the rears again lol.

I talked to b&g today. They said they would make it right and send out the right springs when they come in next month. They said they closed their New Jersey warehouse and some of the boxes were mislabeled. Thanks again to cuda for bringing this up.
