i know with age most things sag....hehe
but does the ride height of springs really drop so noticbly with age or whatever? i'm starting to think that aliens have abducted my springs and have chopped and dropped a replacement set, to make things look "normal" or something.
should i consider this normal, or start looking to the skies each evening holding a "welcome to planet earth" sign high above my head?
would i get arrested if i told this story to a cop when questioned about the car's suspension?
*oh yeah this is my red gem i'm talking about - not the yellow tf thats for sale.
thanx unkle greg. |

| you can get springs reset which makes them like new again. You have to check a few places because some places will charge a fortune for the same job. |

| greg, the fella that i went to the goldy's cruises in had brand new stock height springs and it sat in the sky about 10-15cm between the bottem of the gaurd and his tyres, most gems u see that have uncut stock springs will have sagged over 20years resulting in a much lower ride height |
