Short springs give you a stiffer ride, other parameters (coil diameter, wire 
diameter) being the same.  Assuming "best ride" is for you a softer ride, go 
for the long springs.

It's time for me to replace the front springs on my 63 TR4.  Currently it
has the short springs with the spacer blocks.  Is there any preference on
short vs long?

This is a street car not a show car so I'm not concerned about originality
I just want the best ride.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Brad
