[Fot] Spitfire Front Shocks

[Tim Slater]

Brad,
I use Spax adjustables set about #5 on the 1-10 adjustment You can alter
this without taking the shock off the car. , They  adjust length with 2
threaded locking rings  That coupled with  500 lb springs , ride height set
at 4 inches from frame to ground. Thats the set up I have on the H Prod
Spitfire. Have similar set up on the vintage spitfires as well. with the
lower A arms set parallel to the ground.
