Supposedly made the same dimensions, materials and manufacturing methods as the originals.  NFI, in fact the car has not even been down off the jack stands yet since they were installed.Mike MacLean

 Bob--
Q--Does the rear end sag more than it used to? Weak springs. If the rear end bounces more than one bounce when you press down on it, weak shocks.A--There is about 1/4-1/2" lean to left/driver's side (bachelor's lean?).  The rear end does not bounce/rebound at rest and in fact feels pretty stiff.

Maybe I start with springs--has anyone bought and installed new s[prings recently from any supplier and what has been your experience?

 It's a start.

  There's been some road construction in my neighborhood and it's clear that my car's suspension is reacting very harshly. The front end seems okay with no wheel hopping at speed or bad rebounding but the rear seems to bottom out on even small changes of pavement. It's been a while--at least 10 years--since I fitted new DW springs and the Putske Bilstein conversion is perhaps a bit more dated.
 
 Is there a way of testing or evaluating suspension components or is this all simply subjective?
