I got them from Moss through George Merryweather. I would shop around, a
lot of places sell these, and you might find a better deal.
My car was level with the original springs but leaned with the 340#
springs. I had to shim the spring pan on one side. Make sure you compare
the spring height before installation.
With the lower 165/65 tires, the car is pretty low and more prone to
bottoming out the exhaust. But it looks good :-) It won't be as bad for
you with the 185/60s.

I agree. You could check how long the strap really has to be before bad
things start to happen and then install a longer one. There must be some
racers who have done this sort of thing. Anyway, it was just an idea.
I like the Libre wheels. Now I know what mods are required to fit them.
