Spitfire Any Spitfire owners?

Hi Devin, my car rides pretty well, but I really don't know how much of it is the Konis. they were on the car when I bought it. They're the old style of adjustable shocks, so they have to be taken off to be adjusted. I don't know what setting they're on at the moment. The new Koni adjustables are tuneable without removing the shocks. A very nice feature. Cool thing about Konis is that they're rebuildable. So if you find a used set for a good price, it might be worth getting them. Other than that, everything that I've read about Konis, they seem to be the favourite among Spit owners, but yes, they are pricey. Mine are 20 yrs old, and are still in great shape..
well, it's off to paint the oil pan while it's off..

Devin, I have a 78 Spit. Mostly stock, but I'm hoping to pep it up a bit with either Webers or SU carbs and a hotter cam (maybe headers?). These little cars are great for the money!
