Now the only option I have are the Xray T4 (20mm) springs and the original Serpent springs (23mm) or has someone another suggestion?

Thanks for any advice, Lojz

Now, I only use the front screw when running that mount anyway, so just locktited a 8mm setscrew in place of that. Did the change mid run, so got a good feel for it. It actually helped to tighten the rear of the car up a little, but not as much as say switching to the option 2 mount style. So I think that it's a good compromise between the option 1 and option 2, and a handy tweak to bare in mind. Will be staying like this for the time being I think
