The phone is always best if we want to discuss options, but being I'm pretty swamped it might take me a while to return phone calls (even a few days at my busiest).

No. If you need reminded of why, you can review the entire thread dedicated to the subject here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...m-between.html
If you recall your statement about how my springs suck vs. the *old* BMR's I wonder how you feel now they "developed" a set that's so much more like mine.... nsstech's post is #38 fwiw.
Springs are made in full runs off of one coil of wire, it's not really possible to have one bad set of 100... and I don't see many others having an issue like you claim to have. Springs are made on a CNC winder that is preset, and every spring is the same free length, and made of the same wire (and 99 or so other sets came of the same spool). As far as I can tell two people in the thread above though their nose was low, and today I spoke to a man who's front is higher than normal (and again, no other complaints from the rest of the customers). File it under car variance. Clearly plenty of folks are not only happy, but can articulate why they are and compare/contrast to other setups.
I'm curious as to why you're posting in this thread... you already have some right? Why does the status on my spring order interest you so much? I'd still love to know your name, not sure I ever found that out before. I'd like to confirm when you bought them and compare notes to others from that same run.
Edited to add this: https://ls1tech.com/forums/11376586-post1.html Sometimes it's funny how life works out. Here's a car on nsstech's BMR springs that is (wait for it.... ) slammed in the front! 25" front, 26.75" rear---OH MY GOD! Are you going to go ripping on them for QC issues? I bet not.

You'll all get shipping notifications from FedEx when the boxes are picked up (the last of them are being picked up tomorrow).

- I think that gives me a little room for venting. And I have no idea why that car is so low with the BMR springs. And no, I'm not going to rip BMR for their quality control. I dont feel that I "ripped" you personally- I've spoke highly of you in previous threads. But I will tell you this- I've had my fair share of run-ins with BMR and I've voiced my opinion towards that company plenty of times. I don't see why you think I'm ripping on you- I've bought a decent amount of products from you and plan to continue. I simply asked a question if they could be swapped- either the springs somehow slipped quality control or I installed the strano's incorrectly twice and the BMR's correct from the get go. Although it would be pretty hard to install the assembly wrong- it's really simple. I suppose if you would have been in the shop when I installed them originally you would believe me

What is your name????????
And I'm glad you like your current springs. Case closed. Until you can step up and tell me who you are, and further respond to the link I posted two posts ago when the man installed the same springs you did, and *he* ended up with a slammed front end, I'm not really willling to take anything you say very seriously.
The numbers speak for themselves. The happy customers speak for themselves. I can't be everything to everyone, and I'm not trying to be. I'm sorry you dislike your springs. I'm sure you could sell them in a New York minute if you dislike them so much. In fact I bet you'd have a line to buy them. How much do you want for them?

. Truth is I don't really care if your pissed about BMR copying you. I didn't come in here to dog on your products and hail BMR products. I came in asking a simple question.
- but please don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone by disrespecting me, a paying customer who has bought nearly 1,500 dollars worth of parts from your store 
. There is no reason for you to react like that to a customer; you just made a fool of yourself.

Seriously? If you're having a bad day drink a beer, hell, it's 4/20 smoke a few joints- but please don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone by disrespecting me, a paying customer who has bought nearly 1,500 dollars worth of parts from your store . There is no reason for you to react like that to a customer; you just made a fool of yourself. [/QUOTE]
I have simply just been sitting back and reading this stuff that is going on, but now I'm curious you have said you have spent over $1500 with Sam and despite Sam's numerous attemps to get your name you still refuse to tell him (or us) your name. If what you say is true then it should not be a problem in giving up your name so that your story can be verified and add credence to your story.

Sent in a PM.
I don't know how they were installed, if it was some 16 year old kid trying to install them or what. His front end sits low, mine doesn't- I don't know why. I don't know what more you want me to say
Why do you think I want to swap for a good set? 
All I've heard is good about them. Of course I'd like to try a set on my car (after all, I DID order your springs originally, and I DID pay for them). I guess I don't understand your logic/reasoning behind some of your posts.
