Default Suspension

Hi,
I’ve acquired a half started project, in essence a kit car, so figured this may be a good place to ask some tech questions. What I have is a triumph herald chassis/running gear and a glass fibre body shell. I’m ok with reworking some of the chassis in order the get the body to ‘sit’ right and I’m reading up on fibreglass repairs etc…good ol’ google is a great help.

My question relates to the suspension and more over the difference in weight of the old steel body and the much lighter glass one. Short of filling the chassis with lead, I assume I will have to alter the springs/dampers etc. Any info or suggestions on how or what is needed, would be helpful.

Thx in advance, *Sinbad*
