While on the subject of springs....
Well, I met a Midget owner at school a couple days ago and I showed him my 
sprite.
He seemed to know a lot about it and commented on some points:

    He says my springs are very tired. It is true, when someone sits in the
driver's seat, it leans a tad that way. Is this normal? He says that he changed 
to
some kind of "500 LB racing springs", anybody have any info on this? I see leaf
springs under the rear, is this what he talking about? I also observed some 
unusual
looking struts, my father says that was just the British style. Any info would 
be
great. I have never touched suspension components on any car! Know very little
about them except for the whole "un sprung" weight vs. "sprung" weight issue. 
But
that's about it.

Thanks for any help...

Toby
