Wedge TR7 DHC curb weight?

TR7/8 TPI

Does anyone know the front and rear curb weight of a TR7 convertible?

I am about to order the springs for the Jag suspension and am trying to figure out which springs I will need by factoring in the added weight from the Jag stuff and the rear curb weight of a Jaguar XJS that the differential and suspension came from.

Thanks, Dave

Here's some info that will get you close:

TR7 total weight: 2356
TR8 total weight: 2662 - Frt: 1508, Rear: 1142 (don't know where the extra 12 pounds went!)

To add to my previous post, I think the weight distribution was approx. 57 front/ 43 rear.

Man those dropheads are weighty. My TR8 coupe weighs in closer to the TR7 weight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
