Hi Craig, Those may be of interest, but we are trying to stay close to the original spring rates. We may try a 10" 125lb and see how that works with these dampers. Thank you again for the response. Dan.

@MV8 Thanks for your response. We're using the threaded GS4-2032 (for Seven series 2/3) so the bottom perch is adjustable. The 11" spring is slightly bowed when compressed to fit in the damper - even with the collar wound down to the bottom. Thanks, Dan.

Hello, A couple friends and I are going through a '61 S2 with a pre-crossflow Cosworth. We'll be running it as fun street car on 4" steel wheels and skinny Pirelli CA67 tires. We've gone through the engine, gearbox, wiring, rear axle and are finalizing the suspension. It was running Konis with what appear to be the original springs. The Konis are toast (one shaft bent), so we ordered a set of GAZ Series 2/3 coilover dampers. Question - The front GAZ damper is 8.5" when extended. We tried a Falkner 125lb 11" spring. It appears to be too long when installed. Is 9" or 10" free length a better choice? Can anyone recommend spring rates and free length that would work with these dampers - with an emphasis on good compliance/balance? Many thanks in advance! Dan.
