Hello All:

I want to lower the ride height on my 1962 TR-4 vintage racer.  Currently has
Koni shocks and an unidentified competion front spring with stock spacer.
Rear suspension is lever shocks and leaf springs.  I would lilke to lower the
car 2 - 3 inches.

I plan on making new, longer, rear leaf spring shackles to lower the rear.  Up
front, the first step is to remove spring spacer however that will only lower
the car about 1.5".  I seem to recall a previous discussion about MGB
competition springs as an ideal replacement both for spring rate and lowering
the front of the car.  Any recommendations for sources for shorter springs and
spring rates would be welcome.  Thanks.

Gary
