I'm curious does the M033 springs have the same problem as the M030 springs?
The issue is when you jack up the car the springs come off the perch.
The fix is to tie the spring to the top hat.
Gert says this is a non issue and not to worry about it.
Just curious.

Yes I have that issue, but never tied them with the top hat and everything goes well.

Thanks for the help.
I'm running the Bilstein HD shocks with the M030 springs..
It is pretty stiff.
I'm still on the fence on whether or not its too stiff for me.
The car corners night and day better than the stock setup.
I also think my stock shocks were pretty trashed to.

Do to a screw up with the wrecking yard I currently have a RS sway bar in the front and a stock sway bar in the rear.
There are three holes in the Front RS sway bar.
I have it in the center hole.
I thought this would be equal to 22mm in the front (m030).
The Front RS sway bar is a 23mm sway bar.
The M030 rear sway bar is 20mm.
The RS rear sway bar is also 20mm but its adjustable.
The car does have allot of understeer at the limit.
Which is what you would expect with a stock 17mm rear sway bar.
The correct RS rear sway bar should be hear this week.
Maybe at the next Socal event we can take turns riding in each others cars.
I'm curious if there is anyone from Socal who is running M033?

I have the M033 with bilstien hd's lowering collars and TT sway bars. The car was corner balanced, but I still need to get it alligned, I'm hoping that will get rid of the mild bump steer that seems to have appeared since the front was lowered , the tire is almost flush with the fender.
Otherwise it handles great, I really can't imagine needing a stiffer spring than the M033 for the street especially in a cab or targa.
