I have had rear springs from Victoria British on my Tiger for several years.
My car is street driven with stock suspension & Brigestone Potenza 185/70-13
street tires.
The ride height seems correct & the spring stiffness is what I was
expecting.
The front spring eye fit the body correctly, but the rear was slightly
narrow & I used a flat washer on each side of the spring to fit the rear
shackle.
I have not tried any other springs for comparison, but I have no complaints
with the springs that I received from VB.
    Though VB is bad mouthed consistently on this list, I have delt with
them several times and have usually been satisfied.
I do agree that Sunbeam Specialties is my first choice for parts.
