Those cars were designed like that, to perform like that, with those components. What ever "gap" that Sprint was talking about was computer designed and OEM manufactured into that car's structure. Also, those are FWD cars and their struts mount in a completely different way than ours. It's not even the same concept.

We're talking about retrofitment of another car's parts to our car, there is not a comparison at all. This is no personal attack on you, it's just some advice to keep safe. It's obvious the 1303 spring does not seat into the 944 strut housing or you would not need that clamp to hold the spring. That clamp that could break off and that spring that could pop out, then you loose steering ability and crash into ? and at ? speed. It's your car, do as you wish, I wouldn't even feel safe just looking at it.
