Doug,
I seem to recall some very, erm, excitable debates a few years ago on this
subject. Some people suggested that re-building the front end would cure,
or help cure, a lean in the rear end. Others said that was nonsense. To my
mind, the fact that some people says that it works suggests that it must at
least work in some cases, even if not all - so if you've already rebuild the
back end, than that might be the way to go. A heavy duty spring is no less
a bandage than the air shocks.

Spitted ones,
I've replaced my rear spring a couple of times, rebuilt the rear
trunnions, and replaced the bushings. The car still has massive
quantities of negative camber on the left side. I used the air
shocks for a while, but in my not so humble opinion, that is
just a bandage on the problem.
My question is this, has anyone tried the heavy duty spring (extra
leaf) as advertised by British Toolbox? It is in the last issue of
Spitfire & GT6 on page 39.
Cheers,
Doug
