Hi, I have found many excellent posts with information about springs installation and some really good guides about them. What I can't find on those guides is how to reinstall the AVS module after the springs are reinstalled. I see that you need to unplug the connector and rotate the module counterclockwise to remove it, but is there anything specific that needs to be done when you are installing the module back? My question comes because the dealer told me that there are some specific steps to reinstall the module and "recalibrate" it, and they want to charge me around $700 to install the F-Sport springs.

Anyone can answer this?

Sasnuke thanks for the guide, its perfect. So it seems like there is no special stuff you need to do with the computer to "recalibrate" it. I will use this to finally install the springs

No calibration needed.

Good luck! Took me 5 hours start to finish...probably lost a few hairs on my head and half my sanity...lol!! Of course in Canada a have corrosion to deal with on the nuts and bolts...you'll probably be ok.
