I am putting the front end back together and I have an original set of springs that came on the Tiger. It did sit a little low in the front but the rubber donuts were also shot on removal. I bought a

Hi Lewis, If the donuts that came off the car were compressed or torn, then putting new ones in can make quite a difference in ride height, especially since anything you do at the spring perches has

I recently installed the 450 lb springs. There are 650 lb springs available, which I assume would be just strictly for race Tigers. The 450's are stiff enough, but I don't drive my Tiger that much s

I'm not going to tell you what spring rate you should have, because you haven't told us the intended use of your car, and I am no expert. But I will tell you of my experience. My car came to me with

Coil Spring Specialties will custom make springs for the tiger, any way you want them. Ride height, spring rate, even powder coating. Got mine around 375# stock height for $150.00 acouple years ago.

Hi Listers, I will be going through my front and rear suspension this winter and was wondering who might be a good vendor for buying front coil springs and rear leaf springs. I know Dale A. has them

Both Dale and Rick have front springs available. Give either a call and tell them what your goals are and they will be able to tell you what is the best "fit". Rob Guerra of STOA has had custom rear

I have Dale's 450 lb/in springs and they ride soft compared to my Miata with Eibachs (unknown rate?). I will likely try his 650 lb/in springs as I still have too much dive and roll for my liking. I a

Stephen is correct. I have 425 ppi fronts and Dales 190 ppi rears. You still get dive with these fronts. I wonder if dual adjustable shocks all around would be a better answer. Larry

Even when I bought my Tiger in 67, I was never impressed with suspension compliance/ride quality/performance. Until I put in the 335 front springs we developed at CAT in the early 70s, I really never

There are a lot of variables and subjective factors that affect perceived ride quality, and in a Tiger over-constrained (binding) suspension designs are a huge contributor to it's "harshness"... Dale

Stephen is on the mark again. The Tiger's front sway bar is really binding. To check it out, take it off and go over something like the small curb in your driveway. You will really notice the differe

I contacted Griggs a while back about making a rear tiger suspension. They said they would be happy to make one for around 8 grand. I am sure the front is of a similar price if available at all. The

It's the rear suspension, and does nothing for the steering problems. It reduces unsprung weight, binding from the stock rear suspension design, has a torque arm to eliminate axle wind-up and Watts
