Are those new springs? Are they higher rate springs? If the answer to
both questions is yes you may have a set of springs that are correct for the
later model TR6. As you may recall, Triumph raised the ride height to meet
bumper regulations. I have a set on my TR6 and it sits pretty high. I kind
of like it as I don't drag on speed bumps and such.
