Me 80 TR8 sits too low upfront and bottoms out when I
go over a good size bump at speed. This is in spite of the fact that I
replaced everything up there a few years ago with new springs and Konis. It

sitting too low from that point on. I am thinking about going back in there
but
I want the right stuff.
What springs did you get that make it sit so low? - hope you put bump stops
on those Konis in the front - you can bend one or destroy the valving if it
bottoms without bump stops.
I agree with Dave about Ted's springs
BTW Jack, throw in a couple of Spits, GT6, 4 speed TR7 gearboxes along with
your TR6 & TR8 shift patterns and then you have arrived into CRS land. The
only tway I survive is those handy original knobs with the shift pattern on
them.
yep - that's why I always lift my hand before I shift into reverse - and I
didn't mention my wife's car - it has a thing you have to pull up to get in
reverse and the clutch is so light I can't drive it in traffic without stalling
it
oh well
Cheers,
Jack Mc
