Going off on a tangent here, has anyone experimented with the heavy duty
Herald spring on a swing-spring Spitfire? This is an OE spring rated at
552lb/in, with a much reduced arch.
On a Herald this is one of the most satisfactory routes to good handling,
without the softness of the swing-spring solution. Never tried one on a
Spitfire though, it may just be too firm for the weight of the car. There's
an image of the HD spring against a regular Herald spring (270lb/in) here:
