Re: Marina front suspention COIL spring info wanted
I have never heard of a coil spring replacement kit. The only one I ever read about was a Janspeed kit, it wasn't a full conversion though. It was a kit that added telescopic shock absorbers to the front with coilover springs. Each spring from memory was rated at 50 lb or 100 lb, which beefed up the existing torsion bar spring, increasing the overall spring rate.
It is similar to what has been done by Greystoke there is a picture in '4 pot Calipers' in the 'Modification' section. Clearly it works quite well.
