Depends what load they are asked to carry! The factory only allowed for =
150lb per person, I wonder how many of us are that weight these days.
When I got my roadster I wondered if the springs had sagged as they were =
almost 'flat' with the car on the ground, replaced them and the new ones =
were almost the same. 30 years later no change, that's on a chrome =
bumper. They were OEM springs which have not been available for many =
years, first people in America and later here started talking about how =
much new springs jacked up the rear, to the extent that they had to put =
loads of weight in the boot to compress them enough to get the rebound =
straps fastened, which is completely wrong. rubber bumper springs are =
harder to carry the extra weight, and V8 springs harder still and they =
do have a curve with the car on its wheels, but I have never had to =
weight down the back to get new springs fitted to CB, RB or V8.
The lower the car the better the handling, it's only a problem if the =
exhaust grounds and the suspension bottoms over typical road surfaces.

Do springs (leaf springs especially) tend to sag is decades?
