The one thing that upsets me the most about my baby is that as soon as you put anything in the back, it sags. I've stuck es9000's on and it's improved slightly, my question is: Is it a genetic thing or perhaps maybe my springs are sh***ed?????

your springs are knackered, if your carrying heavy loads on a regular basis it might be an idea to upgrade the springs as well.Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.

I found even after installing uprated +2" springs I still had a bit of sag (although the springs were second hand which must have been "tired" already). It wasn't until I installed some 2" spring spacers that I was happy:

Now it sits how it should and even with my motorbike and rack on the back the sag is more acceptable and I don't tend to blind oncoming traffic with my lights!
Danno here is/was supplying spring spacers, although his site is down due to bandwidth usage issues - doh!

cheers guys, I suppose I've gotta decide now whether to:
a) replace the springs like for like
b) replace the springs with something a bit stronger
c) replace the springs with lift
All opinions will be gratefully read and fully considered!
And what would YOU do?????Nihil illigitimi carborundum

Hi,
If fitting +2" HD coils to rear does this affect the front torsion bars, and if so how are they adjusted, and wouldthe +2" require any alteration to the brake hoses or any other under body bits and pieces?Rob

This might be an odd question, but has anyone else had this trouble:
When my mrs or kids are in the back (seat not boot!!!!!) they complain of travel sickness! This is a fairly recent thing so I'm wondering if maybe it could be something to do with the springs not being at their best??? No comments on my driving please!!!!! The problem being that if I can't solve this then I'll have to get rid of my babyNihil illigitimi carborundum

Exact same here. Eldest lad feels travel sick after 5 mins in Surf. In the Venture,
not a problem.
