Tell you what, if you're really concerned, call M+ and talk to them. They're the ones that will handle any warranty, so let them tell you what to do.

Never measure from the ground to the fender lip.Measure from the center of the hub.Just take them out and cut a 1/2 coil now.Its never going to drop more then a 1/4" anyway.I have yet to see springs "settle"

Mine measurement is 12 3/8" from hub to fender lip...............for reference.

When i did mine they did not settel to point that I can the difference by eyeing it. Cut 1/2 and drive a little then come back and do more if necessary. I left my old springs on my other car - the heights just right with old saggy springs.

Finally figured out. I took some pics of my coils and it was determined that I was sent the 67 coils. I was sent the 65 version and it is much better. The 65/66 only have 7 coils where the 67's have 8 coils.
