I have a HK GTS 327 thats look like it came from a Starsky and Hutch episode.
Have checked the spring height (bump rubber to body) according to the Holden manual and its around 1 inch to much.
They are 4 leaf springs, right thickness but just have way too much " curve"
So need to have springs reset or buy replacements.
Would rather have them reset but need it done right.
Can anybody recommend where I try - I am in Melbourne.

Moorabbin spring works should be able to help.
If you have them out and post the spring arch I can give you some comparison numbers. The Shop Manual numbers are given at kerb weight.

Thanks gm.
Dont have the springs out yet but will take up your offer of comparison when I get them out in next few days.

I have two sets at home and another pair out of a HK GTS (same spring) stored elsewhere that I can measure as well to compare.
