Greg,

Are you certain that the upper spring seats are designed to be completely unsupported?

If you look at the mounting locations of the cross memenber, the entire wieght of the front end is cantilevered out on the spring mount. I cant find a decent pic to confirm this but I don't think its designed to do that. Al isn't very fatique "friendly" and the lower half of the spring seat wil be deflecting A LOT, during normal driving. I think the AL would fracture eventually if not sup)ported(5k-10k miles.

It looks to me like the aluminum spring seat just helps during assembly, but a portion of the frame is suppose to contact the spring seat to transmit the load to the rest of the chassis.

I don't mean, in any way, to discourage you, i think the idea is great. Just please varify that the Al upper spring seat needs a reinforced mount to the chassis/frame rail.
