Got my VIN today. Ordered on 2/5 with a 3/12 build date!

So I called my dealer to ask about installing the FP Lowering Springs prior to delivery. They are about $260 online and estimated install time is 1-2 hours. The service manager says it's an 8 hour job and the "axles have to come off of the car"... Why does it have to be so hard to work with the dealerships??

Ha ha. Because most of their money comes from BS like that.

Do it yourself if you are able, springs are pretty straight forward. Spoiler alert: axles don't come off

And while doing it you need to replace the blinker fluid and Upper-dorsal bushings to compensate for the new gastrointestinal parameters.

Make sure you get the summer blinker fluid the winter stuff has a viscosity to heavy for a new car.

You will want to go ahead and replace the muffler bearings while your under the car.
