Unfortunately, it is "the nature of the beast". Your sag is due to the inherently bad design of the swing-spring rear suspension used on the Spits. The longer axles put a greater load on the weaker springs and will inevitably cause the sag you are witnessing. ==AM== I don't disagree with Joe per se, but I've long wondered if the greater problem is with the increasingly heavier "Federal Spitfires" from 1974 on. There is still a "heavy-duty" version of the swing-spring available from some vendors (essentially the same spring used on the 1973 model GT6) that might be more durable. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
