Sorry I neglected to mention my setup...
Rear: Spax adjustable tube shocks, polly bushings in the trailing arms and a
panhard rod.
Front: All polly bushings, 3 degree offset polly trunion bushing, factory
anti sway-bar and 20 weight oil in the shocks.
The car is for street.
I'm not so much interested in a different setup but the success of re-arcing
these springs to get a little more life and shape back into them.
Cheers,
-Drew

Drew,
Race or street Sprite?
For racing, many take 4 leaves out of the 14 spring pack.
I use a custom 3 spring offset springs...
