Front Coil Springs for Sprite & Midget

Sprite and Midget front spring range overview

This range covers the two standard front coil spring applications used across Sprite and Midget models. The early spring fits Sprite MK1 to MK3 up to HAN8[C]60259 and has a free length of 9.5" with a spring rate of 271lb. The later spring fits Sprite MK3 from HAN8[C]60260 to MK4 and has a free length of 9.875" with a spring rate of 277lb.

For a more complete suspension refresh, pair your new springs with the correct SPAX Suspension Kits for Sprite & Midget and the matching Austin Healey Sprite & MG Midget Rear Leaf Springs.

Quick-reference part numbers, fitment details, and spring specifications are listed below for straightforward selection.

Complete your suspension refresh with rear leaf springs

Replacing front coil springs is only part of the job if the rear suspension is also tired. Matching the front end with the correct rear leaf springs helps keep the car level, maintains more consistent suspension behaviour, and avoids chasing handling problems from one end of the car to the other.

See the full Austin Healey Sprite & MG Midget Rear Leaf Springs range for both quarter elliptic and semi-elliptic applications, or pair your spring refresh with the correct SPAX Suspension Kits for Sprite & Midget where telescopic rear damping is part of the plan.

Not sure which front spring fits your Sprite or Midget?

Getting the correct front coil spring matters because the fitment changes part way through Sprite MK3 production, and the spring specification changes with it. If you are unsure whether your car needs the early 9.5" 271lb spring or the later 9.875" 277lb spring, it is worth checking before ordering.
