Listers,
This months Healey Marque magazine has an article regarding raising the front
suspension
with after market "spring donuts" if you will, in order to obtain about 3/4
inch at the front
brace and 7/16 inch at the exhaust.  In the rear a loss of about a 1/2 inch
was obtained.
These rubber inserts sit on top of the front springs.  The owner states that
the car feels a
little firmer but no noticable loss of control.

Is it worth messing with the geometry of these cars to acquire such a small
amount of clearance.
I just happen to be at this point in my restoration and any input would be
helpful.

Thanks,  Mark
