I thought about air aswell, but I couldn’t find anywhere to put the tank as I still had to fit a drum kit in !!

So I have recently been looking at air bag options. My idea is to have the bags down when standing and pump up as required for extra support or clearance on the go.

Will get springs off and measure. Anyone know what the free lengths and ratings are of these standard Ford sprngs? I see Burton have some alternative spings but do not list rating of standard springs. John On Wednesday, September 11, 2019 at 8:44:17 AM UTC+1, John R wrote: What rear springs do folks recommend? My rear ride height seems too high - much bigger gap between the arch and tyre at rear than the front. I have noticed same on pictures of other saloons. Wondering if this is a design feature or wrong length springs have been fitted at some point. The build manual recommends soft 1100 springs. Mine was built using a mk2 XR2 donor (shorter stiffer springs?) but these may well have been changed since original build. The car handles ok but to me the stance does not "look right" as is.
