Step one is to understand how springs work, decide what sort of performance
you want from the springs on your car, and determine the exact
specifications of the springs you want.

Step two is to call or write to the Chassis Components Division of Rockwell
International Corp., Springs & Stampings Business, 500 East Ottowa Street,
Logansport, IN 46947, (219) 753-5181. Be prepared to spend some money.

Step three, if you're happy with the results, is to share the specs you
came up with in step one with the rest of the MG group....
