Can anyone tell me what the coil springs are off, if anything? ( Suspension that is.) Can anyone say where is best to obtain?
Mine are rusty and prolly past their best, if the shocks are rebuildable i can sort that.

Custom springs. Speak to your favourite TVR specialist. Tower View offer a coil over conversion.

I suspect Steve's coil-over conversion is a far better approach to take if you're thinking about tweaking the suspension. You will find you have a far greater choice of coilover spring suppliers, a wider choice of specs and they are cheaper and easier to replace. I don't know if the conversion Steve recommends includes the wishbone improvements he has on his own car, but if so that would be another good reason to go for it.

If you have Kono shocks then yes, they are rebuildable, but Koni won't sell you the bits to do it. They'll rebuild them for you, for a fee...

Hardly rocket science, a few seals and some bloody oil...
