GT6 suspension Question

This subject has unquestionably been broached before, but I am new to
the list and haven't yet been privy to the collective wisdom of the
list.  So here goes:

I am using the chassis and suspension from a '72 GT6 under my Spit
Autocross car.  It has rotoflex rear suspension.  My questions are:

1. Since the front weight is significantly less (with fiberglass bonnet
and 4 cylinder), what is the preferred front spring combination to use. 
Shorten the GT6 ones, buy SPit competition springs, or some other
strategy?

2, I have the Competition Prep. Manual for the Early Spits and Kas
recommends dearching the rear spring to 1 inch.  Does this apply also to
the Spring on the rotoflex rear?  Or is some other strategy recommended?

Since this is what I am working on at the moment, I appreciate all
perspectives on the subject.

Regards,
Joe Curry
