Posted: Wednesday, 7 May 2025 @ 12:51

Austin Healey 100M English country road Spring time

It’s that time of year again — the days are getting longer, the garage doors are going up, and the old Healey’s calling for attention. If your Austin Healey’s front end has seen better days, now’s the perfect time to refresh your suspension setup and make every mile this season feel as tight and controlled as the day it rolled off the line.

Why Your Suspension Deserves a Spring Clean

Tired front or rear springs make your Healey feel soft, vague, and unpredictable. Our Austin Healey front suspension springs — available in both standard and competition-rated variants up to 900 lbs — bring back the ride height and control you’ve been missing.
