MSS front update kit

There was discussion that the front kit was being redesigned and would be possibly supplied free of charge to those that had already purchased the original lowering kit. There is a post in another thread, (England?), where they posted that it would be $450. Has their plan changed? Anyone have anymore info? Ben? Mike?

They will offer the upgrade kits to existing US owners for free

Please note the upgrade kit is not needed for Euro cars, only in the US as the front is slightly higher per MSS.

I have not seen any official mention of the $450 charge, but it would make sense that they would charge for it for Euro customers

Hi Mike, I called MSS yesterday and there was no mention of Free upgrade for existing US customers. Would it be possible to get an official answer from MSS? Thanks

this answer was from the MSS owner in a meeting with the top 10 US dealers.

That's as official as it gets

In the front, yes, I am using the original kit on my car, and after I removed the adjuster and gave it time to settle, im not looking to add the updated equipment.
I don't want my car any lower; I think it's the perfect height for a daily driver.

That's good news. Do we need to reach to you when the upgrade is available or do we need to go through MSS to get the upgrade? My box is still sitting in the garage waiting for my car...

If the MSS kit was purchased secondhand, how would one obtain the upgrade kit? Have a receipt or would the orig owner need to request it?

Isn't everyone running the fronts maxed out to the lowest setting?

I thought that was the issue but i guess the mms problem is worse.

I figured all company's would have a little room for play in both directions.

I don't know about worse; MSS wants to make it better, that's all.

I felt its too high in the front, but I no longer wanted the upgraded kit once I gave it time to settle. Current height is perfect for a daily driver, in my opinion

I would love to see a lot more pictures from people with it settled at its maximum lowest setting.

I’m confused more than ever. You get a lot of that from me.

I’ve never seen a picture with this kit and the front be so low like yours. I think yours is almost too low. Everybody else’s is several inches higher than yours at its lowest setting. What did I miss?
