Recalibrate Magneride / ride height with aftermarket springs - required?

[drummerboy]

Just doublechecking as it has been a tad difficult to find a thread on this forum or others with a clear verdict.

I read something about needing to use a shop/dealer tool to recalibrate, perhaps only if you have an error code.

I do not have an error code, but I also have only driven 100 miles or so since installing the springs. I stopped by the local dealer just to ask about it, they said no error code no worries.

My only remaining concern is if getting it deep into the travel on track the code might arise as it will have been pushed beyond what the sensors are seeing on the street. I do NOT want to run into an error code on track and have to travel 3hr round trip to address it.

I'm interested in this as well. Just bought springs, swaybars and endlinks and will be installing soon.

I've read posts with opinions both ways.

IMO if your car lives mostly on the street its probably not a big deal. But like you I would be interested to hear from someone who's made this swap and tracks on a regular basis.

I've been on track and have driven maybe 5,000 miles by now and I have 0 errors still. I think you'll only get an error code if the magnride sensors gets loose and "disconnects" from the female end.

No calibration needed. There is a min z on the shocks where they find zero position, shorter shocks won’t effect that.

I think it’s in this article in regard to the shipping spacers

If you look into the manual, any procedure that disassembles anything in the suspension requires a ride height calibration after. In practice, nobody ever does it and everyone is fine.

Perfect, thanks dudes, exactly the info I was looking for.
