I've finally updated the now-legendary rear shock conversion article based on many comments I've received from fellow list members. http://www.mgb.bc.ca/service/rear-shock.html Big thanks to Dave Tie

Yup! I just put new leaf springs on Emma (72 MGB), and now she looks like a bloodhound (nose to the ground)! Handling is okay, but I wonder if I should replace the front springs as well? -- I used t

I hear this a lot. The springs will settle after some miles, won't they? Tom: Did you use the 7 leaf springs as most suggest? In my case, the car is "squatting" pretty bad, so maybe I'll even it up a

I called Rancho Suspension's technical support line (800-574-6527) and the Rep said they had no direct conversion for Monroe Sensa-Trac No. 5877 to a RS9000. He did how ever suggest 2 possibilities:
