Hi,
As you may see in the picture in comment 14, the whole front suspension is based on the flex of the carbon piece that act as low triangles.

There are 2 downstop screws and 2 "upstop" screws that limit the flex.

In the new updated chassis, those screw are place wider apart so that they don't push on the thinnest part of carbon in the middle but in the wider thougher part.

The guys in yokomo japan also mentionned to me that they have already changed the screw that locks the left hex for better reliability

Anyway if you still want to go with front spring, Yokomo has relased a more conventional front suspension for their YRF (in both narrow and wide version)
