Thanks Chris,
I guess the weight of the engine helps the front end, and I suppose as I need to reset chamber and toe in etc (after total strip down) I can adjust to compensate for differing weight. Would the springs not be to stiff though? is there a calculation or rule of thumb to find the correct ...errrr tension/weight setting? I'm guessing its possible to buy different springs.

As I'm altering the springs what about the dampers? would it be a good idea to swap these?

I want to get in clear in my mind so I understand it, so I can make it as stable as possible. Lets face it heralds weren't known for their handling to start with.

Any one reading this got a herald based kit car? what setup have you got?
any info please is useful.

Thanks again *Sinbad*
