Thanks Ray, that’s really interesting. There’s a lot to be done, isn’t there? How on earth does one break all four coil springs at once - by getting the car airborne?! Thanks again.
by cutting them to lower it mostly likely as that constitutes a broken spring and failure if the ends are not correctly refinished to sit correctly on the spring seats
