Skunk2 springs are available for 2012 SI's!!

Did you happen to measure your OEM ride height (from tire to fender) before you installed these? That would help troubleshoot what is going on.

It's also very possible it will settle more and look fine after another 50 miles of driving or so.

Well I drove the car for about 250 miles already in the past 3 days that it's been on. I emailed skunk2, let's see what they say.

Well I just emailed skunk2 and then they said it needs to settle and asked if I cut the bump stops? Can anyone chime in on how to do so?

Based off what you just said, I'm assuming we need to cut the bump stops for it to be even?? o.o da fuqq? This was never mentioned...

Well seems like most of the people I talked to that installed lowering springs on their 9th gens all cut their bump stops. I will be doing the same as soon as skunk2 tells me how much needs to be cut.

No one with other 9th lowering springs ever mentioned having to cut the bump stops? Why these?

Honestly I am not sure, I think eibach is nice enough to include shortened bump stops when you purchase their springs. Maybe skunk2 can't afford to take the extra step and give us shorter bump stops but just tell us to cut our own.

^ some come with shortened bump stops as he said above.

oh gotcha, i didnt know that!

Nice! Are you cutting your bump stops too? Also how much is the shop charging you for installing the springs?

I asked if I needed to cut the bump stops and he said no and im gettin charged $180. Other places wanted $250+ and only installed if I bought springs from them

Ahh I see, let us know how it is! I hope you don't have the same issue Jonathong is having. And that's a really good deal! Places I've been quoted by are charging $300+!! So I'm just gonna do mine myself.

Stock length bump stops can definitely cause drivability issues on lowered cars. Not sure if you're hitting the bump stops though when you car is just sitting there. Keep us updated...
