Unless something is really different on my car, those pictures are both fronts. Taken from different angles, for sure. The rear looks much different.

+1 those are definitely both fronts. The rear springs are narrower and no where near bind.

My front has the perch with the holes in it, and angled. The rear has no holes and is mostly flat.

I have only read half of this but just wanted to say I experienced coilbind autoX this weekend. I have the RCE Yellows (ver 2 is being mailed to me soon) and this was my first time on R comp. The car just started hoping literally when at the limit and deaccelerating...

Is this guarantee going to be good indefinitely (at least for the next few months)? I haven't put my name in for the replacement fronts yet, but I probably will after I move shortly...
