Can anyone help with some advice please? My 73 Fastback is sitting low at the back, which causes some stability issues when driving on the motorway when past 60 mph. As such, we are looking at either replacing / refurbishing the suspension springs. The local springs company in Portsmouth has closed, so researching alternatives. Can anyone recommend a company (Jones, Coil springs etc) and is it better to replace with new? If so, any recommendations (Speedy Spares, West Midlands etc)?

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Kevin,

The club had some leaf springs re manufactured recently, 2 batches in the end due to popularity.

I have some on my H120 and they sorted out the sagging rear end

I forget who the supplier was but Glen will be along soon and he will be able to tell you. They are in Sheffield somewhere, I guess a single pair would cost in the region of £250.
