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?

Your pic of the front springs saved my day . heres an exact BAT front spring against stock SVT 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
