I've got a couple of bags of sharp sand in the boot at the minute because I'm supposed to be doing a bit of rendering. Probably 50 kg, maybe less. I might not get round to the rendering however as the car drives SO much better with the weight. I would like the car to drive like that without the weight penalty however. I've got Dai's adjustable shocks in the back with progressive springs. Car is 40mm lower than standard. Probably more now with the weight. However I adjust the shocks without the weight I cannot get the car to settle and feel planted and secure like it does with the weight in there. Shocks set to about 1/3rd up from the softest setting. Is the issue here the springs (from Amazon cars a good few years ago..springs still in good shape but I don't know what they are rated at) or the shocks? I cannot measure the spring rating as far as I know...Cheers, Dave __________________ Falmouth, Cornwall. 1970 California white 131.
