Carly sits much lower at the back than at the front (measured by
clearance between the top of the tyres and the bottom of the wheel
arches). I can't believe that this can all be cured by lifting the
front of the car off the front spring with a spacer. Having said that,
if the new rear spring doesn't even her out, I'll try the spacer at the
front - thanks for the tip!
