It seems to me that if the springs are made stronger, then it would be logical to expect them to be shorter than the originals they replace in order for the car to keep it's original height. If I recall the new springs were the same height as the old springs. This could be the problem. It would take more weight for the body to sit at the same ride height as the original springs due to the increased rating of the new springs. I may just take the springs off the car and take them to a local spring company and have them shortened. If the company I used to deal with years ago is still around they would have the equipment to resize the springs and insure the ends still fit my Jensen Healey correctly.
