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

Thanks for the clarification David. That's the ratio I was starting to question. Based on that, I may just pick up the 1/2" kit. Howard **It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your trav

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

Hi Mark, I've been looking for 1/4 offset springs for some time. Made one bad purchase, and the usual supplier won't sell me any unless I get 6 orders. So I am giving up on offset springs, unless you

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
