Do a search for 'Spring Spacers'. Or, just take a careful look at the springs on your car (front & back). If there are rubber pieces keeping the springs from compressing, then your dealer screwed up - they should have been removed during PDI.

Check that out soon. From what I understand it can actually make the car dangerous to drive...

Or that's just what he's telling you. He may have a dead body in there.

I found a spring spacer last week . . . you need to put the car on a lift and inspect the springs form underneath with a good flashlight. My buddy had done a visual by crawling under the car and we missed the spacer that was on the backside of the LF spring

It was one of the spacers , but I did compare the ride height on my car vs. the 04/05's ...MY06's sit a lil higher unfortunatly
