My 1968 Spitfire Mk II is in the shop right now getting an estimate and look over of the suspension for an overhaul. I know that I probably have worn out wheel bearings and steering rack and shocks and u-joints. I am planning to upgrade the suspension at the same time and I will be ordering most of the parts because my repair guy can't get them. So, my plan so far is a set of AVO shocks front and rear, the front ones with the adjustable plate. The AVO Front shocks ask me to specify 2.25" ID or 2.5" ID seats. Which do I pick? In the rear I am getting one of Joe Curry's Camber Compensators. Up front I will get the short ratio steering rack. I probably need a new sway bar up there as well. What do you guys recommend for a front sway bar? Also Is this the time to go for front springs as well? I want a sporty good-handling ride. I have the 1300cc motor and an O/D trans and will keep those except tune and de-leak the motor. Any other suggestions on improvements to the suspension and other mechanicals?
Here is a very old web page of my Spit. I need to update that one. http://www.kirkanddonna.com/kirk/spitfire/ Best Regards, -- Kirk Crawford [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your messages not reaching the list?
