[Fot] Spitfire rear spring rate

[Barr, Scott]

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.
