On my '79 Spit, I am running '70 springs, which lower the front a bit while
preserving that "boulevard ride". (OK, it's the same ride, but at least
the front end doesn't feel as if I filled the tires with concrete.)
Triumph raised the front ride height in the early '70s to comply with the
US headlight height rules.
If you have a later Spitfire (with the raised front end) this is the way to
go.
