According to the original parts lists, yes. The difference was probably
a bit heavier primary leaf due to the added weight over the rear wheels.
(Any experts want to confirm - or tell me I'm full of, er, Castrol?)
However if you order a new GT6 spring from any of the domestic suppliers
you will get the Spitfire spring. Don't know if it really makes any
difference other than it might sag a bit sooner, but it's not that hard to
remove and replace and rearching the Spitfire rear spring only cost me
$40 so I probably wouldn't recommend buying a new one anyway.
UK people, are real GT6 springs available over there?
