Got a set of springs from Abbott Racing in England today and installed the fronts. Car is lower and rides better. Rears tomorrow.

Rears done, pretty easy compared to fronts.
Ride is dramatically improved.

oh yeah, for road use, a little lower and a little former really makes these cars work a lot nicer. What shocks are those?

Shocks are Koni Reds, they were new but sitting in a humid environment so a bit rusty. Work fine, lifetime warranty!

I like how the rear shock has a dust cover designed to collect and store debris

There are holes a the bottom to let the debris out. I agree though, pretty expensive shocks to come with plastic covers. They slide right off no issue.

Took a long ride and snapped this pic. Stance is better with new springs.

Found one downside to a lower car. I now have to go slow when entering my garage
I have a dip then a slight ramp up and I now hit if I go to fast.

Oh yeah, I remember that ramp being a bit steep. I love that garage though, the old blacksmith shop.

DAMN. If you have something like that in the garage you've got a good excuse!

Nice!
A friend took me for a ride in one of those a while back and while not the fastest it was certainly one of the coolest driving experiences I've ever been in. I'm a short guy and still had issues getting in/out, I can't imagine what normal people would have to do.

I don't know any of those. What are they like?
Nice car. Elise is at the top of my list for big purchase in the next couple years.
