4g61t.org :: b&g s2 spring install

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.

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

My parts which worked correctly were this:
60.1.020

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.

B&G is having quality issues I think...

What is the part number printed on the bad springs? I have some in my garage waiting to go on.

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.

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.
