...don't mind goin' back to the current spring, but my issue is the serious negative camber on the driver side(right hand drive). I suspected it was due to a worn out spring? ....Oh and apparently there's a spacer on the driver side on the front spring...to compensate for the driver? Is this true? ==AM== There should not be a spacer on the driver's side front spring on a right-hand drive car. It appeared on left-hand drive cars because of the presumed weight of a driver PLUS the weight of the gas in the tank, which also is on the left side of the car (regardless of driver position). On the other hand, someone might have put in that spacer a long time ago, to try to compensate for this excessive right-side REAR camber problem you mention...in which case something weird definitely is going on. Of course, it might just be that whatever spring currently is in the back of the car is a worn-out Spitfire-spec.swing spring? Otherwise, I don't recall ever seeing a fixed-spring GT6 of any rear suspension configuration develop serious neg. camber on either side short of a broken spring or other damaged or twisted bits! --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
