The wonderful thing about Spitfires is the combination of suspension set up.
Basically there are 3 types:
- MK1–MKIII type
- MKIV type
- 1500 type
The 1500 type was the ultimate development and the best. A very effective suspension modification to early Spitfires is to fit a MKIV rear sprint and front sway bar.
Some owners have gone to the trouble of fitting GT6 MKII suspension to their Spitfires, but there is very little advantage over a well set up MKIV or 1500 type.
