Dixie,

You can get em from either RTRacing (Richard Thorpe) or TVRcarparts. Thorpy quoted me about £30 each plus vat. IIRC rear springs are about 200lb/in.

To be honest, springs can go soft with age, and it *might* be an idea just to buy new...

Just my tupenn'orth

agree with ed - the old ones i took off my car were 1/2" different in length to each other and 1" different to the new ones - 20 yrs is abit over the life span of springs i think
