But I think for a Roadster or Plus 8, I think it would make a massive difference.


Hi Tim. My 2009 Plus 4 is suffering from a second sagging rear spring ailment in 22k miles. First replaced after about 15k miles. So I am looking at the options to replace. As you said the SSL 5L is probably an expense too far, so I would be interested in your satisfaction level with your set up, also were the leaf springs standard MMC replacements?
