There were at least three different spec springs used on MGB GTs over the
years, and one of them was used on roadster for a while. Whilst in theory
using GT springs on a roadster or RB springs on a CB can give a firmer ride
and less roll it does so at the expense of a higher ride height. But more
importantly, from owners experiences with replacement springs even the
'correct' ones are far harder than the originals, often meaning that they
cannot get the check straps installed without putting a lot of extra weight
in the boot, and when they have done so the tail of the car is sticking
right up in the air. This is very wrong, the normal weight of the car - as
long as all the running gear is installed - should be enough to compress the
springs more than enough to get the straps on and the rear shackles
installed.
