I have 4 intrax springs with no upper spring seats and I need some very badly as my car is sitting in the driveway n pieces. My previous coilovers were drop zone and the upper seat 4 those is much smaller. can I drive with no upper spring seat and no thrust bearing? is that safe, I dont think it is but im havin a noob day again. Also if I remember right if I buy new upper seats from Mazda I have to drill then out from 19 to 22mm correct? uhhh I'm so confused.

Dunno about the drilling out Q. but as for upper spring seats and front thrust washers - ya gotta have em. The spring seats are the only thing riding between the top of each spring and the strut mount and in the case of the fronts, the thrust washer needs to be placed between the upper spring seat and strut mount to allow your front strut/spring assembly to rotate as you steer.
