Sagging with age!!!!!

Hi all;

My '82 Diesel Maxi is starting to show it's age from the rear, by that I mean it saggs (when I release the clutch to start rolling), and squats down real low, Am thinking new springs and shocks are in order, I don't really want to lower the suspension, I would like to keep the original ride hight and feel.

I have not checked the autoparts stores nor speed shops yet.

Are there original hight replacement spring for these older car still available, and if so , what would you all recomend.



Thanks

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do have my stock set of 87SE springs if you have any use for these, I have no clue if the first and second gens use the same springs.

Moog springs work very well for the 1st gen! If you get those they will be a little stiffer then stock, but will not lower the car! combine them with some KYB GR-2 or Koni dampers and you are set!
