I already have the shocks, but the springs they came with are too soft. So ....

1. Where can I buy springs only
.....is there a super backstreet expert who clan do them perfectly but cheaply
2. Other then the poundage (I know what I want) what info do I need to tell the supplier

....?

Most rally equipment outlets sell springs also Google search too. Only need lbs/inch or kg/cm, length (free) and inside diameter. Check out the suspension wiki to see what others are using.

Length - Which shocks do you have? Are they ride height adjustable?
My springs are 8" long rear and 7" front on my Protechs.

I would recommend talking to Joolz at Kits and Classics, nice chap. He knows suspension (been doing it a long time) and he knows the S series (used to campaign a 5L V8s).

are you sure????

my v8s has softer springs than TGTVR - but i am convinced this is better, if a little more rolling in action.

now the diff is a different thing ,i recon the good old ford plate LSD is better on the v6
