Hey guys just a few questions? I have now modified the front suspension with coilovers as i said in a previous post but the new front suspension has brought to light some problems in the rear suspension. First of all I know a leaf sprung rear vechicle will never ride like a 4 link, 5 link or indepent suspension and i accept that as a fact of life. The rear of my car has 2 inch lowered reset springs reset profesionally apparantly by pedders using a big press with bilstein shock absorbers with the bumpstops chopped down. My problem is on hard driving it feels really loose in the rear end and bounces acroos the road for example i was taking a long sweeper at about 140kph with a small bump in it and my mate following in his bmw said the rear moved half a lane across this makes it scary when pushing hard around corners. It also has real poor ride quality in the rear at any speed. I think the rear leaves lost their springiness after being reset and this is causing the problem. I have read alot on this site about the anti tramp rear springs if i could have some feedback on them i would aprreciate it also any other ideas for the rear end such as 4 link designs or panhard rods or anything to make the rear better would be appreciated

Thanks guys
