Help with suspension '83 Euro
I have done several archive searches and unable to come up with answers...hoping someone can help.
I have and 83 Euro with I stock Boge shocks and springs. The driver's front spring is sagging approx. 1/2-3/4. I put the car on the rack today and nothing is broken- rear are adjusted close to equal by the naked eye.
I need new shocks. I intend on replacing them with Boges due to the fact that old worn out leaking factory shocks compared to new Boges will be night and day. I need new springs. My question is this- what spring can be had to upgrade handling a little bit while using gas Boges? I want to keep stock ride height or very close and don't want to switch to adjustable front (Keep It Simple Stupid is my motto)
Thanks for insight!!!! Rob
P.S. I need to stay on a budget so if anyone has a used setup that would be great too!!!

The Tech Specs book lists the different spring ratings and colour marks for the different shocks available then. If you fit gas shocks, expect the height to rise ~10mm with springs made for non gas.
