MP HAS - # printed on spring?

[jshahm]

I'm trying to ascertain if the MP HAS springs I have are legit because they are sitting too high in the back at full drop, and the fronts do not sit evenly.

rear: 33532420016 49G16
front (appears to be): 33532420015 49G16

Anyone else with MP HAS have some numbers printed on the springs?

Who installed them?

Also both my front and rear end in 19G17. keep in mind this can be a production date or something. couldn't make out the front numbers clearly in the pics I do have.

I'd say its HIGHLY unlikely somebody is making fake springs. These kits aren't that high volume.

For the front being uneven, do you mean when the perch is set to the same position on both front struts? It's not uncommon to have that be different side to side.

The "49G16" isn't part of the PN, just the 11 digit block before it.

Were the rear springs installed properly? No stock top cups left in, original bump stops instead of shorter ones, or things like that?

Not that I think they are fake, but perhaps a spring from a different manufacturer like H&R or something that were sold to me advertised as MP HAS.

Yeah, everything as you mentioned aside from the rear bump stops being what looks like Dinan HAS bump stops, but we looked underneath and it's not even compressing enough at full drop to be touching them anyway

Those are definitely BMW PNs on the springs, not aftermarket.
