Question prodrive warning sticker for springs

Can someone please tell me where the stickers suppossed to go that comes with the spring kit for newage with the bumpstops fitted? Think dealer left the sticker on the seat for doing later and forgot about it, and not worth the trip back. Maybe service book or similair?

Mines stuck on the inside front cover of the "services and warranty booklet" just as you thought.

I'd like to know that too. I've got the Prodrive spring kit & I've never seen any such sticker.

I think they fit different bumps stops when the springs are put on and it's a warning about that. If the car needed replacement springs in the future the bumps stops would not work with standard springs. (Perhaps you might suffer coil binding before the bump stops did their job?)

I'm sure Mike Wood will put us right.

If you had to change a strut the replacement would come with a standard bump stop so the warning is to change the bumpstop if using the prodrive springs. Warning: If you remove the damper tube from the strut to change/inspect bump stop make sure when you reassemble that the flats on the end of the damper rod engage properly with the bottom of the strut or it will be difficult to take apart in the future.

delighted with them - wrx 06. No rougher over town type roads, better on a/b roads and improves the stance a huge amount, eg not nose high anymore. Doesn't seem to drop it a huge amount but enough to notice
