I may have mentioned this previously but, having struggled to achieve a satisfactory spring camber and rate for my 100 I have installed air springs (pic with wheel off) which cannot be seen without removing a rear wheel or looking in through the battery compartment

I know you mention that you would wait for the rear end to settle and it likely will. Having said that, Mark Baker, former owner of Sport & Specialty restoration of Durand, Illinois would remove the shortest spring, the bottom one for about a year, until the
rear had settled, and the reinstall it. Usually it did the trick, I guess it also depends how much driving one does in a year.</div>

<div>Well, I’ve put my new leaf springs on and I find, just as I feared I would, that it's a little high at the back.<br>
I’ve been advised to have patience and I should find they settle down somewhat. <br>
I will give it some time, but as I mentioned before I find a lot of BJ8s look as though they’ve been kicked up the backside, and now I’ve got one.<br>
If it doesn’t settle down by itself, I think I’ll use the lowering block method rather than removing leaves. It’s a pretty simple principle and the springs stay at the same rating.<br>
<br>
I went to watch my brother race in vintage events at Mosport Park and I realized, answering questions about my car, that I’ve owned it for fifty years now.<br>
I bought it when I was 19 and it did not look like it does now, but my wife says she misses the days when it was just an old sports car and I didn’t care where I parked it!<br>
<br>
Stephen, BJ8<br>
