Default New Springs?
I have a 2000 FE1 with F45 shocks, 63,000 miles on it
After going to my first HPDE in it the front air dam is hitting everything.
The front transverse spring has two splinters. Are the so called lifetime springs bad or could the adjusting bolts be turned to raise the front end up?

take pics, hard to tell what are where they are. if there is separation you should replace. random splinters by the bolts are usually no big deal
