Try Doug Jackson www.mgbmga.com or maybe it's www.mgamgb.com . His rear springs are some type of composite. The last time I spoke with him he told me that the springs have evolved over time and now a

Well, that didn't work right! The '67 B sits waaaaay too high in the back. I had the springs re-arched and they, apparently, put too much arch in them. Does anyone have a rear leaf spring lying aroun

Some other things to consider with GT springs on a roadster are that the braking and handling get all messed up because the rear is so much higher than the front. Also, as a result of raising the rea

Chris, I placed a set of 6-leaf springs on my '70 MGB. After about 15,000 miles and 2 years, the car sags on the driver side about 1 inch more than the passenger side. I'm about 175 pounds, so I don'

The seven leaf springs were fitted to all GTs, neither of the roadsters. All RB cars had harder springs to cope with the extra weight (of the bumpers!). I have fitted RB roadster springs to my CB roa

The accepted wisdom on racing suspension set up, is to go less stiff, if anything, at the rear, and much firmer at the front. For a street car, replacing with proper spec rear springs shouldn't put t

Further to the discussion (I don't know if anyone else got this already) about installing the leaf springs on the MGA. Soundsa like you've bolted & tightened the bolts at both ends. DON'T. Loosely fi

I need 'em too. They're something like $60-$70 per side in the major catalogs. I'm told that re-arching existing springs is not much cheaper, and not as reliable. Question: Why hasn't anybody develop
