Re: Exhaust hitting (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 10:47:46 -0700; By all accounts (including my experience), the replacement rear springs that are currently available will raise your car almost an inch.

Thus the need and supply of lowering kits to put the car back level again. Which is what I had to do with my 72B after I replaced the rear springs.

6. Re: Exhaust hitting (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 08:57:09 -0700; Interesting. I would think that would change the spring rate, however, when all we want to do is change the spring height. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain View, CA, it's the pr; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00187.html (8,991 bytes)

I was assuming they would not knowingly be selling springs with the wrong spring rate, but I suppose that is just as likely as knowingly selling springs with the wrong arch. -- Max Hei; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00191.html (7,674 bytes)

Chances are that if the height is non-standard, the rate would be non-standard also. That would seem to be the case, as the rear end hopped less; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00210.html (8,589 bytes)
