Hello ,

       while this might not be the "accepted" solution .. this is what
       i did that works.....

       not only does one side of the rear "sag", but the opposite
       corner of the front is "high" .. measured to the top of the
       wheel arches... or it did... .. sound familiar?.. if so

       i replaced the bolts that hold the spring pan on the front
       passenger side, (the high front side) with longer ones, and
       spaced the pan down using 3/8" flat washers... i went three
       thick for a change of 3/8 " (1/8" apiece)... i could have used
       a couple more, but not the car sits nearly flat. ...

       maybe, just maybe the SET that these cars take doesn't have to
       do with the rear springs, (i've heard of MANY instances where
       changing the rear springs has NOT helped) but rather with one
       of the front spings loosing ITS length?

       lister comments?
