[RallySnake]

Dear (Please people, put a name in your message!) Whoever,

I went through a lot of trial and error with Jag springs. The XKE springs are way too soft. The XJ6 springs are a little too soft, but I made a bracket at the top with several holes so I could adjust the angle of the springs. With KYB coilovers, I could not get a good compromise, they were too soft (with a full 22 gallon tank and two people) or too firm (with a low tank and just me). So, I bought some stiffer springs from Butler racing (805-649-6000). I'm now running two XJ6 springs and two Butler springs and it's about right. Sometimes, with a full tank, lots of rally equipment and two big guys, we scrape bottom on hard dips at speed. Sometimes, with a low tank and just me, it feels a little rough. But the overall compromise is good most of the time. If I were going to spend more time on the track, I would put four of the Butler springs on the car. My original MGB front springs just wore out and drooped on one corner. The new ones started off a little high, but have sagged now to just the right point (were not designed for a V8 car). Should be good for a couple more years.
