Since I'm new to the list I apologize if this counts as a FAQ. I restored my
'72 MGB about four years ago. I replaced only the rear springs at that time
and since then it has sat noticably lower in front. This past year, I got
springs from Moss (later hearing that they have a spotty reputation). I
noticed before installing that the Moss product and the old springs had nearly
the same height, and it was pretty close to the 9.9 inches mentioned in the
manual. I installed the springs and increased my front end height by only
about half an inch.
I have since gotten another set of springs and sure enough, they have a free
height of about 9.9 inches. Is it worth it at all for me to try these springs
in the car? A friend told me that if one spring is the same length and
diameter as another, then it's the same spring. Is my car perhaps missing
something? Is there a reputable source for coil springs?
