Mr Moss provided me with two excellent rear springs earlier this year - i
went with GT 7 leaf springs for the ride benefit they give but this does
give a higher ride height than original 6 leaf springs with which i know
some folk have hads a problem with
on the front, its more likely to be the shocks that need replacement than
the springs - how are they? BTW -using new front shocks and the 7 leaf
springs the car is completely level

that must be the smallest you can get on the rim! - personal opinion is
that pirelli 185/70/14s take a lot of beating - and are usually on sale
someplace - bought five this spring at $60 each - if you redo the
suspension you could go as far as 195s
