I recall something like 800 Lbs for the GT6 spring. That from the factory
workshop manual.
Perhaps it's specced out in the 1500 manual?

Subject: [Fot] Spitfire rear spring rate
Can anyone tell me the stock spring rate for the 1500 Spitfire's rear
pring? This would be a swing-spring.
It's time to get the car back to the frame & spring shop. The rear
pring has started to sag a little and we've now got what looks like 6-8
egrees of negative camber back there. The tire temperatures are much
igher on the inner edges than in the middle and outer edges. And the
ar's twitchier than hell - very loose.
There's a non-stock spring back there now, which is a little too light
ince I borrowed it from an 1147 car, along with its axles. I'd like to
e able give the spring shop a benchmark for how stiff the stock spring
s.
