Thanks for the inputs guys, it is greatly appreciated as always. I knew this was a good place to settle into with this car. These are supposedly the same springs that Dave Clark(I think?) ran in his Shell car a few years back and heard good things as a result. Dai from Classic Swede also posted in a few threads saying that these springs are very good alternatives to stock. I freely admit my calculations could be wrong, as I am in no way close in knowledge compared to you guys on this matter. But, I hope they work out well, and I hope I remember to take ride heights and other measurements when the time actually comes to take a baseline and compare befores and afters.
On the good side, started it up for the first time this year... I had to make a few SU carb adjustments and re-sync them with a balancer, but overall pretty painless. Even no leaks over the off-season, which is very welcome. I then took the car on a quick neighborhood spin for a brief shakedown, and all looks and sounds good. A fresh oil change with D-MO 15w40, a new Mann filter, and it's good to go.
Future plans include dumping the 4-2-1 header, and going to an injected 4-2 exhaust manifold, with the 2-pipe downpipe out to the existing Simons exhaust. I really like the burble that comes from that exhaust, it's a nice note. Then when I gather some courage, it's out with the rear end, and new bushings, springs, dampers

, and hopefully powerdcoated bits go back in.
