I think you got it confused where I meant the shims need to be placed. I think you're referring to putting shims just in between the engine front bearing and the brass collet... Which I'm not...
I know that putting shims behind in between the front engine bearing and the brass collet is the same as putting shims in front of the engine where the thrust bearing is. Just that the latter is easier to do without taking off the flywheel !
Anyway, for a clearer pic, you can download the Serpent 710 manual
here (the last one which is 2 MB with file name 710manualSAMPLE.pdf). Specifically, step 8.7 on page 28 which describes this procedure.

What stiffer springs did you go to serpent?
If you want very hard Centax springs, you can go with the Mugen silver ones. The Serpent one is reasonably hard though.
