Bill, Even with the Herald spring, you would need the camber compensator to get rid of the dreaded wheel tuck caused by unrestricted swing axles. A good number of the camber compensators I have sold are to Herald and Vitesse Owners who have all informed me of their amazement of how it improves the handling.

This is an OE spring rated at 552lb/in, with a much reduced arch. On a Herald this is one of the most satisfactory routes to good handling, without the softness of the swing-spring solution. Never tried one on a Spitfire though, it may just be too firm for the weight of the car. There's an image of the HD spring against a regular Herald spring (270lb/in) here: http://www.rarebits4classics.co.uk/Herald_parts/Suspension/305686_1.JPG Cheers, Bill.
