Hi Paul:
About 18 years ago I wanted to stiffen my rear suspension for autocross as
well as take out some of the "sag". I went to a spring shop that worked
mostly on large trucks but some antique cars as well. They put a extra
spring leaf just under the main leaf. It was arched similar to the springs.
It wasan inexpensive fix and has worked well and the springs did not change
in height since that time. As I am restoring my suspension now, I just moved
those two spring leafs to new springs to retain the stiffness I have now.
I wouldn't change how the rear shacklers are mounted as some people have
done as I think it is an unsafe solution.

Subject: [Roadsters] Rear springs?
My 1969 1600 suffers like many other roadster from rear spring sag. It
has gotten to the point where I bottom out on almost every little bump, even
with newer shocks installed. Other than buying new springs, comp or stock,
or having the old ones reached, is there a simple solution? Some kind of
helper springs maybe that someone has installed on their late model
roadster? I need to get some lift in time to drive down to the Mitty this
May.
