Hi Listers,
Over the weekend I swapped my rear spring, quite easy apart from one
stubborn bolt.
Anyway, the photographic proof, and what a difference it makes! Almost
looks odd, I can feel it when Im in the car, it feels like my back is in
the air. Now the car points downwards, I thought Spits had the problem
of pointing upwards? Anyway, the rear doesnt bottom out now.

The rear right, before and after:

A bit lopsided - but then that may have been the ground.
And finally the reason why it was so bad in the first place (thats the
top leaf):

BTW It turns out that my boot lock was broken because the of the latch,
so Ive got to get a new one of them.
