Since your car doesn't appear to be particularly low in the pictures, I'd suspect you've got worn out shocks. Shocks don't do a lot in straight compression, but they do have an affect.
But, I'd also try bouncing the front end with the old knee on the bumper and then bounce a friend or two's Spitfire to see how they deflect. If you can deflect other Spitfires an inch, but can deflect yours three inches, you've now located a problem with the spring itself. In that case, the spring has a very soft rate, allowing the suspension to bottom easily. The only fix there is to replace the spring. I wouldn't suggest cutting it in this case, as you'd most likely end up with the front end too low by the time you got the spring rate where you'd want it. >>> "James Carruthers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/12/02 06:06PM >>> I have been quite concerned recently over her complete lack of front suspension stiffness - her suspension likes to "bottom out" as I call it. /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
