Wouldn't cutting them down make them stiffer, though?
I'm wondering if I should go for a lower spring rate as I'm only putting the Spitfire engine in, which is obviously lighter.
Faulkner Springs do a 140lb spring of 10 1/2" open length (compared with Triumph's 12.2") for 25 quid, which seems fair to me. Saves me cutting a spring!
What did you do on the rear, in the end? I know you said you had a lowering block, but then took it out. Did you take any leaves out? If so which ones?

Cheers,
Martin
