[QUOTE="BlackBolt9, post: 13515678, member: 36489"] Don't know if they just aren't in the pictures or if that's what the one large tab on the strut body is, but I don't see front sway bar mounts either... Ours have always been adjustable mounts that are on the same threads as the spring collars... It's not that uncommon to run different diameter springs front and rear. The two should run different enough spring rates that you wouldn't be able to run rear springs in the front or front springs in the rear anyways. Don't assume all race teams are experts. I've seen many cars built by "race teams" that I wouldn't have paid for. Lots of shysters in the racing industry looking to make money off people who don't know any better. Make sure you are making adjustments according to lap times. Stiffer doesn't mean faster. The car may feel quicker because it is twitchy but lap times might not agree. I still think you are going to be way too stiff. I've never heard of a Boss302S or R running anything near the spring rates you have. If you just want a crisper turn in, you could have just went with a little more toe out in the front end. I'd be the super stiff springs are going to make the car skip around more. Good luck!
