Hi,
I'm currently in the process of refurbing the front suspension of a Spitfire 1500 (1977) and I'm needing to get the last replacement parts which are the shock and spring.
I've decided on going for Gaz fully adjustable shocks (GP4-2271) - I've heard good and bad about these but came to conclusion Koni were marginally better quality but wanted the better adjustability for ride height and dampening even if I rarely touch it once fine tuned. Spax had a few more horror stories found online than Gaz so that sealed it for me.
But am stuck when it comes to the spring I'm unsure what spec to request/order. Through searching here and online I've seen anywhere from 250 to 350 lbs recommended. Apart from some spirited driving down a few lanes I'm generally going for comfort so figure I don't want too much spring rate but either way it will still be better than before.
Has anyone got any experience, recommendations or advice at all? I'm hoping these might be an early Xmas present to myself while I clean and refit the rest of the suspension over the Xmas break! :)
Thanks! John
