If you have the roadster, I do not recommend the GT springs! I know many
people like them, but they put the rear of my MGB into the stratosphere. I
know it's not weak front springs because I got new front springs at the same
time. The chrome strip is three inches higher at the rear wheel than at the
front. In my mind it spoils the looks of the car. Don't go with GT springs
unless you want to show off your gas tank to the car in back of you!
Has anybody done this GT spring thing and had the car come up level? Did I
just happen to get a hold of a pair of extra stiff springs?
