An edit:
New builders who opt for the BC Racing coilover option for their Goblin, you put the 400# springs on the front and the 300# springs on the back.
New builders who opt to use the Cobalt struts on the rear suspension, you put the 300# springs that come with your kit on the front, and cut one coil out of the stock Cobalt springs before putting them on the rear.
Just a PSA for new builders. Hopefully this post helps eliminate some confusion in the future for people via the search function.
I just wanted to put it out there: the kit ships with a pair of 300# springs and a pair of 400# springs. In the older video series, the 300# springs are shown pretty clearly as belonging on the front. So that's the way I did it while building my car. I saw much later, posts on here with people saying they had put the 400's on the front and the 300's in the back, so I emailed DF and asked the question. Here's the official response:
"We run the 400s at the front and the 300s at the rear. The motion ratio of the front suspension decreases the effective rate of the spring more than the rear suspension. So even though the front springs are rated 100 pounds higher, the effective rates end up pretty similar. We like how this feels in our cars."
So, there it is.
