[Healeys] Rear Springs on BJ7

[Jim Werner]

The cheap and instant fix is to add helper springs from your local discount
auto store. They are sold to increase the spring rate when you have a heavy
load or towing a trailer.

Fellow Healeyoids,  My 1963 BJ7 has a saggy ass.  The rear end looks like an
ld Labrador retriever with hip dysplasia.  I want to lift up the rear
prings but I have heard that the new replacement springs are cheap and not
s good.  Question:  can't I get a new piece of spring steel and stick in in
ith the existing spring leaves?  Would one or two be better?  What is the
ost cost effective way to remedy this saggy ass syndrome? My front springs
re original and I have rebuilt shocks on the front but not the rear.
hanks!
