Yes, I cut my front springs down by 95mm and by moving both rubber 'washers' on the top of the damper to above the spring seat my springs no longer come loose under full extension. As for softer springs I understand the principles but I'm going to give it a go with the standard Vitesse ones cut down first. After all, the iron six is pretty heavy and doesn't have much ground clearance.
I'm not too worried about the handling either so long as it's safe. I'm not planning to throw it around too much, I'm going to leave the track days to the Caterham crowd, I just want to experience the thrill of driving something from another era, no matter how slowly.
