Me 80  TR8 sits too low upfront and bottoms out when I 
go over a good size bump  at speed.  This is in spite of the fact that I 
replaced everything up  there a few years ago with new springs and Konis.  It 
was 
sitting too  low from that point on.  I am thinking about going back in there 
but  
I want the right stuff.



What springs did you get that make it sit so low? - hope you put bump stops  
on those Konis in the front - you can bend one or destroy the valving if it  
bottoms without bump stops.
I agree with Dave about Ted's springs
 
 




BTW Jack, throw in a couple of Spits, GT6, 4 speed TR7  gearboxes along with 
your TR6 & TR8 shift patterns and then you have  arrived into CRS land.  The 
only tway I survive is those handy  original knobs with the shift pattern on 
them.
 
 
yep - that's why I always lift my hand before I shift into reverse - and I  
didn't mention my wife's car - it has a thing you have to pull up to get in  
reverse and the clutch is so light I can't drive it in traffic without stalling  
it
 
oh well
 
Cheers,
Jack Mc
