was told that the racing springs were to stiff. I have racing springs
on mine, but it has never been, and won't ever be on the street. ;-) I
hope to run it at Candlestick autocross on May 20. That surface is
bumpy, so I will see how it does on less than ideal surfaces.

Dave,
Long time ago I tried the rear comp springs on on my CP 67 Solex, and like
many others found them too stiff for the bumpy east coast tracks. Finally
settled on the stock springs with a lowering kit from Bob Sharp. The kit
contained extended U bolts and an assortment of aluminimun blocks of various
thicknesses that fit between the spring and axle. Can't imagine using the
comp springs for the street.
