Thanks - I'll have to check that out. I don't have a Spit factory
manual - just the one for the GT6. Time to get one, I suppose.

I recall something like 800 Lbs for the GT6 spring. That from the
factory workshop manual.
Perhaps it's specced out in the 1500 manual?

Can anyone tell me the stock spring rate for the 1500 Spitfire's rear
spring? This would be a swing-spring.
It's time to get the car back to the frame & spring shop. The rear
spring has started to sag a little and we've now got what looks like 6-8
degrees of negative camber back there. The tire temperatures are much
higher on the inner edges than in the middle and outer edges. And the
car's twitchier than hell - very loose.
There's a non-stock spring back there now, which is a little too light
since I borrowed it from an 1147 car, along with its axles. I'd like to
be able give the spring shop a benchmark for how stiff the stock spring
is.
