The 5 leaf springs are like riding on wet sponges! But Jono is right - good damping is the key!

Hmmm... two sides of the coin, I will have to ponder on it. Thanks to you both

For the extra £2 or so - you can try the 7 leaf springs - and if you don't like - you can then make them softer! Then when you realise your mistake - you can pop the extra leaves back in again!
Slightly tongue-in-cheek - but you get the idea!!

Tend to agree with you about the springs, but only the recent substandard offerings. We have just fitted Bully's own springs so will hopefully be able to give some positive feedback.

Does no-one do a single leaf spring - as is available for the MGB ??

Jonathon - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Bull Motif's springs once you've given them a run as that is where I am intending to purchase all parts from.
