<DIV><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

if the exhaust grounds and the suspension bottoms over typical road
surfaces.</FONT></DIV>
