MG MGB Technical - rear springs -new question about old issue

anyone tried the new stock from brittek?
next question...I weigh 225 lbs (16 stone)..should I purchase springs rated at 110 lbs/in instead of stock 93?

As Abingdon only allowed 150lb per person I'd buy two sets ;o)

I purchased new springs that supposedly came from England, whose I don't know, but they are for the GT not the roadster, with 7 leafs. They raised my lowered rearend nicely, but are 1/2"+ higher in the back than front. So the car is slightly raised in rear, which is a compromise from having it riding lower the past 3 years. I opted for the 7 leaf GT springs because I weigh in at 250, not the standard 150. Yes car is stiffer.
