- I'd like to lower my street/stock Bugeye about an inch. In looking through the Moss and Victoria British catalogs, I see front lower kits which include spacers that go between the A-arm spring pan an

- The wedges work great on the 1/4 leafs. I am not real fond of those spring spacer blocks. Moving suspension stress points can't be a good thing. But I have taken apart a few Sprites which have had t

- Because the spacers are being placed approximately 1/2 way between the fulcrum (inner pivot) and the load (where the tire meets the road), a 1/2" spacer WILL lower it an inch. Can't help with the qu

- I bought a set of racing springs for the MKII a bunch of years ago, they don't lower the rear end, however there are only 3 leaves to them. In order to use the original length bolts, I fabricated a c

- On my 62 mkII Sprite I lowered it the old fashioned (cheap) way: In the front I just cut some off with a hacksaw I don t remember how much. In the back I just kept the original 45+ year old sprin
