[Fot] Spitfire Front Shocks

[Aaron Johnson]

Brad,

A couple options out there that aren't Penske Custom money.

1) Spax still makes one for the spitfire, and it's likely if you called
them they could make for the car in an aluminum body, multi adjustable, but
you'd have to talk to them.
2) lesser know, but i used them on my spitfire for a lot of years...Avo
Shocks.  https://www.avouk.com/product/triumph-herald-spitfire/ reasonably
priced, adjustable and they were very good quality.  They would also do
custom work if you wanted a rod end on the bottom and top etc etc....
