Why not see if you can exchange them for another set?

just a thought but if the sport springs lowered your ride did you trim down the rubber bump stops. that could be artificialy affecting your susp. travel and causing the "bottoming"

I understand how the dealers hands are tied and can only take em back or exchange if the mfg is willing to go along with it. The parent company sending a "your the only one thats ever had a problem" type reply IMHO is pretty typical of how things are done these days.
Thank you to Steeda.ca for trying.

I am still trying to see if anything can be done, including asking other dealers

We have installed a ton of them and never had any problems...we actually just did 2 sets today and so far no issues.

I trimmed the stock pinion snubber (as recommened from the corral and stangnet sites} about a half inch, no difference. I then trimmed another half off with the same results, so thats a total of one inch off that and it was of no benifit. This type of always happens to me...anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. :rolleyes:

Interested in selling them? How old are they?

I installed them about 2 and a half months ago, car has low milage so they are as good as new, i am going to "try" and make them work because of the cost of them and so on, i will keep you posted..... :bleh:

No problem! I am just about to order some springs and thought now would be the time to ask. I am getting some FMS "B" Springs.

I have the B springs on my 2000GT and they're good. However, I've never heard of Steeda Springs going bad. In fact, if I did this over again I would have bought the Steeda springs. There are many GT's around here in Mississauga and Toronto that use Steeda parts and I've never heard of this problem. Remember I'm not flaming you, just trying to help you out.

Were they properly installed? Are the shocks dead cause when the car is lowered the shocks react differently. Case in point, My quad shocks leaked oil 2 days after I installed my springs and upr/lwr control arms.

Get Steeda to replace the springs instead of tossing them. Let us know the results.

I highly doubt steeda will replace them, paul said steeda USA stated that they have had no issues with them, so that's that. It just pisses me off how a car like mine with such low mileage would have this problem, do you need special shocks with these springs? Control arms? All new suspension bushing? WTF!! I installed them EXACTALLY as stated from the instructions. :rolleyes:
