I'm in the middle of installing the Bat suspension kit. Rears went in ok but the front spring height doesn't seem right. The Bat spring free height is 11" compaired to the stock SVT (used) at 16.5". Coil diameter and pitch on the Bat spring isn't all that different than stock so I think me gots the wrong parts. Anyone else notice a huge difference in heights?

That looks real familiar That big difference in spring height was a bugger but no big issue in the end. It all went together well. Front dropped about an inch and the rear gained a 1/2" (1 busted spring in the rear). The handling is awesome now w/o a harsh ride. Really nice upgrade
