Doug, I liked the competition spring that VB sells. Gives a good firm feel...if that's what your looking for. Mine never came loose when I jacked it up but you are right,they are shorter. They look f

Hey Doug, I have some short 330 lb springs. They are off a race Spit and a bit crude, but cheap. You can see if you like the ride without spending a bunch of money. Ten dollars plus shipping. http://

Are these springs familiar to anyone. They are described as 9.5" free length, have 8 or 9 coils and fit 71 and 72 MK IV Spitfires. The corresponding factory number is supposedly 214144. http://ljvaug

Shrug, when I do cut them with a torch, I tend to hold the spring with my bare hands just a few inches away from where I'm cutting. The heat doesn't travel far, and as long as you don't foolishly run
