Thanks to all for the tips and advice. I was able to get a nice (but expensive) set from Dave Bean. They found me a set good to .440 lift. I checked them and they appear to be of very high quality, all very consistent readings compared to the stock springs I have with no chance of binding. While it appears the stock springs could work, my tester came withing 20 thous. of coil to coil binding at .380 lift.

I have had no luck finding pin bushings. Source in UK says they are back ordered at Lotus until September 2007. It appears I will have to have some machined. I am still wondering how others have been doing rebuilds without pin bushings. Is it not common (good) practice to replace these when rebuilding?
