I am in the process of modifying my spit for autox as i have posted before and
have a few questions regarding suspension set up. I need to make a decision
as to what to use for front springs. The old standard is gt6 with 1-1.5 coils
cut off. The spring was originally 220#, i believe plus whatever the math
works out to be after the coils are removed. The problem with this is the
spring never quite sits right after being cut, etc., etc..
I know that i need to increase spring rate to lower the car, decrease roll and
reduce the oversteer that i have. TriumphTune suggests 300-330# springs that
give a final installed height of 6.875 to 7.25 inches, but does not give the
uninstalled height. I also am concerned that this if obviously a setup for
road racing, but does it autox?
So, the question is, for those autox-ing spits, what are you using for front
springs and would you do the same thing is you were to do it again?
