We were out in the Roadster to catch the late sun last evening. For a while I have wondered if I have "Roadster spring sag", what do you reckon ? And if the answer is yes, should I just spend the money on an SSL 5-leaf rear conversion ? (I have the SSL front). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2024/06/27/26-6-24-Wilverley-1.jpg) Peter, if when you fitted the front end SSL you set up the spacers to give better sump clearance on the Roadster...as this raises the front arch to wheel gap, it will emphasise the lower gap at the rear even if you don't have 'saggage'

Thanks, good point. The SSL front (which was done for me) certainly improved the ride and handling at the front end, but I have since been of the opinion that the rear isn't singing from the same songsheet. At next service/MoT time, I will be using a different specialist to do a general revamp of the suspension. It will be money spent that I wlll never see back, but will make me more likely to hang onto the car.
