[Healeys] Rear springs

[David Porter]

Yo Ed,
 Eliminate the leaf springs... I assume that you are replacing them with
coils? Otherwise, I have some serious problems with your decision..

I too have been thru it all. Once put in new shocks and was still bad so had
springs rearched and was just the same. It was always a bad design. Have
recently been thru a long process of trying to adapt the whole Miata rear
suspension. Can be done with a great deal of refabrication and upwards of
$5k.
Have ended up with a setup utilizing dual adjustable Konis keeping solid
axle
but eliminating the arch springs. Once installed they will be road tested
and
adjusted to achieve best possible handling, comfort, and road control. The
shop that races Miatas and specializes in working on them is doing the work.
Parts have been ordered and expect installation next week. Will take pics
from
under car and post them here. No more dragging butt and bouncing side to
side.
