Mine is up on jack stands with the rears installed. They seat perfect but I haven't seen it on the ground yet. I've had more problems with part fitment on this car than i've ever had with any other car I've done. The superpro bushings I ordered were a joke. The only correct bushings I got were the front control arm fronts, every other spot needed some kind of rig. The sway bar bushings were straight up wrong and went back. The price you pay for rarity I guess.

Most suspension is straight forward for those cars but you have to sometimes compare at multiple sources and or use Mitsu part numbers to get a proper match, some catalogues are rather inferior because they haven't been critiqued from years of improper parts listings getting corrected. Biggest hurdle is lack of use, possible misinformation, and the difference between turbo style parts and non-turbo base models.

For those Superpro Bushings, therein lies the issues with parts fitment assuming proper machining.

Did you get your replacements yet? I'm going to call them this afternoon and see if they're in.

From the looks of it, I may be having the same issue. I called B&G as well, and they asked for pictures. Also, they said they should be getting the replacements in any day now.
Its been any day for a couple weeks lol.

Called again today. They said there was a delay on the container in customs. Asked me to call back Friday, or Monday, and they should have a better ETA, or have them in their possession by then.
I spoke with them today 5/15. Still in secondary, or so they say...Starting to think maybe they are not coming, maybe I should just trim to fit lol.

Any update on this? My car is ready to run, and since I bought my springs used, I am going to trim to fit for the time being. But I would like the proper fix for this with the correct spring.

Thanks.

Bumping this back up. Has anyone heard anything about replacement front springs from B&G?
