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.

My 66 has a pair of the clamp over the shock helper springs from JC Witless.
But, as I recall they don't fit the late cars due to interferance with the
torque rod on the rear axle. A friend of mine used the bolt on extra helper
leaf from the same source with good success. When I got my 66 it had air
shocks.
They were a hasle as they kept leaking down. I think the blot on helpers
would be your best bet.
See you at the Mitty. I plan to fly in a few days early so I can rest up
some before it starts. BTW, any roadster folks in the Atlanta area? I hope to
bring some cameras that will be pretty bulky for the airlines and I was
thinking
about shipping them to someone in the area and picking them up when I get
there.
