Are the FOAs to wide at the top to fit the pockets?

Yes that's why I make the adapter it "mates" the 2 together

with the adapters do you use a shorter spring?

Got the kit today everything looks great.  FOA no longer sells the blue coils, they now only deal in Viper coils. So I got the 500lb ones I got . I will install them after I get back from the ship later this month. My goal is a smooth ride as this is my daily driver.

I've been informed that the difference between the old " blue " coils and the new Viper  ( thankfully BLACK ) coil is the blues were hand wound and the Vipers are CNC wound for better consistency. I've been using Mudchilds  adapters and the old blue coils for a couple years now, and they work GREAT.
