Unless the owner is likely to be obsessed with speed, we consider that this car should have the low rated springs which we have specified for same. If, however, he is likely to be a speed merchant we should consider that the old type standard would be the better compromise. This is a point we would like information from you about. In regard to the damping, we are quite satisfied that our hydraulic dampers can be set in such a way as to completely guard the car against pitching or excessive periodic spring movement. BY.{R.W.
