Nope, ALL springs for the Spitfires (and GT6) are the same distance eye to
eye - the longer axles require different radius rod mounting at the body
(now that they have different angles for the radius rod mounting), they are
now in a different position (angle) since that they have moved outward -
the uprights pivot at the bolt, so the same fixed spring can be used, but
the angle of the uprights will be more and yes, more pronounced negative
camber will result, unless a stronger rated spring is used to compensate
for the added leverage of the longer axles
