Hi,

I finished putting in the disks in the rear leaf spring Saturday. Sure made an
improvement. The rear of the car now sits higher and the rear wheels don't
lean in as much.

Went on a ride this afternoon with my Dad to give it a test with two people in
the car. It came down a little but it wasn't anything like before. I even
think it rides better. We took the Spit on some rough roads too.

Went down to show a friend who owns a Spitfire and he could tell the
difference as soon as I turned on his street. He couldn't believe the
difference. Now, he wished he would done it to his old leaf spring instead of
buying a new one.

Now the next test is going to be time.
