Spider suspension.

["Kim Boydell" <boydell@domain.elided>]

Hi All

I have a 1979 Spider and have ordered shankle sports springs, koni
adjustable shocks and sway bars from AR Ricambi.  My mechanic began
installing the parts when he asked me to check the springs.  What I found
was that the rear springs are sport springs, (part number AL 0491), but the
front springs are super sport springs (part number AL 4733) instead of sport
springs AL 0468.

My question is, what will mixing these springs do (the front are already on
the car, the car is sitting on a hoist at the moment).  Should I return the
rear springs and get super sport springs or should I remove the front
springs and get sport springs? How much stiffer are the super sport springs
compared to the sport springs?  I don't do any track or autocross driving. I
am a normal (aggressive) Alfa street driver.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
