I have KW V2, the adjustable spring seat ( mount ) which goes in between your car and the spring has no bolts or anything. Hope I answer the right question.

so far for mine spring seat it has not move at all. I mark the position where the nut should be and if the line dose not align then I know it moved. I think there is a lot of pressure on it it will not make the spring seat and nut to move. hope this help.

dlbehrns: this car is both track and street use, I guess. I have to drive it to track and it will go on the street . Last year I was working on dieting the car, over the winter I change the fuel nozzles, 430 throttle body and 430 MAF sensor housing. Looking to upgrade the spark plug wire and Okada Plasma Direct coil pack by this summer. Also hoping to get Pirelli Corsa R compund tires on.
