We'll see how it goes. I'm going to install these today.

For the other improvements, I may purchase the full floating (rattling) rotor hardware. Supposedly those help even more.

I spoke to David from Zeckhausen and he's a pretty cool dude. Even called me when he saw my order because he thought I bought way too many parts for one car but I told him it was for two cars.
The springs are going to have a far greater impact on mitigating knockback than the hardware on the discs will. Four lb. springs are fine...don't worry. With the 18mm thick pads in your kit, they're a good choice. We run both 4 lb. and 7 lb. springs in our front calipers in our Essex/AP BBKs, depending on the caliper. If someone didn't tell you what their rate was, you probably wouldn't know the difference.

Dave Z is a good dude that I've known for about 15 years. He's honest as they come and won't lead you astray.
Good to know. I used this video as a reference. You can see the springs on the piston here haha
