A few years ago I saw an ad for a replacement kit to elliminate the use of lever type shocks.This kit appeared to use an upper control arm and coil-over shocks.If anyone has info on such a kit I could really use it. My Sprites are 1966 and 1967, I need parts for both. A lot of these cars were raced,maybe there is racing componets available?? Thanx!

There is a kit available for big healeys made by Putkze. Telephone number 858-486-3870. It uses bilstein shocks. He may know of an application available for Sprites.

I have a similar kit from 1965 that was offered by Koni. I know Koni no longer offers the kit but they may be able to steer you to someone.

Best regards.
