Julian, it's a 1974 L model USA spec car with a GT5 bodykit. Used to be owned by Bob Rittweger in Georgia who fitted most of the gear onto the car. It runs a 7/8" swaybar from MAP that was fitted in May 2004. Also runs Codington billet 17's in 13" rear and 11" fronts with Pilot Sport tyres.
The front wheels were supplied wrong and I have had to fit a 30mm spacer to set them wider as they were touching the inner guards on turns. Just the wrong offset I think, but now they fill the flares nicely.
The only light I can shed on the springs is from a footnote wrritten into a spreadsheet that Bob kept on the car.
"Updated Spring rates in 2007 to get car more level with less adjustment"
Your guess is as good as mine on this one!
