It's IFS. The lower mount is a plain T-bar running through what looks like a delrin bushing. The upper is a spherical joint, though I wouldn't call it a heim, per se, as it's not a perpendicular joint.

Anyway, I've been talking to my vendor and considering some geometries I measured. It looks like the spring was too short for my application and/or did not provide enough spring rate (650 lb/in). So, I may have inadvertently overcompensated by placing too much pre-load.
