I'm sure the list is somewhat divided in whether to 'restore' your Spitfire
to original specs, or 'prepare' your Spitfire for the occasional autocross.
I would fall in the latter category.

As a new Spitfire owner, I'm looking for some advice (or opinions) from
those 'in the know' on suspension preparation.  I'm trying to develop a plan
that will include a total suspension rebuild, and would like info on shocks
(choice of Spax, KYB's or Koni's), bushings, wheel preference (size and
brand) etc.

Any comments would be appreciated.

TIA,

Mike
