Hawk Rear Springs

but flat ground at both ends.

I have a set of Beta coup struts with cutdown springs you can have as I’ve now gone to the Hawk new setup. I used them for more the 20 year, a bit rusty now but work OK.

Not something I have personal experience of, but I’ve seen folk in the Westfield community use progressive bump stops to fine tune the suspension to good effect, rather than using the springs. They typically use Mk4 Golf ones

Coincidentally, I did buy some progressive springs for the rear of the Westfield that have been developed by Spax. Excellent things.

Yes Chris, or maybe there's a ford spring seat that would save the need for grinding flat but I've decided to get some made by Faulkners. Thanks for looking.

That's the best way Keith,
I've got Hawk GAZ struts with 9.5" 320lb, but I'm starting with a Beta engine, so they'll probably be too high in lb.
I could fill the boot with sand bags?

....or find a willing accomplice to get in the boot. Besides providing ballast, they'll act as a sacrificial crash zone/structure in case you go off backwards. Might wanna carry a sponge and a bottle of Flash to clean up any mess, tho.
