My 1972 Fastback looks as if it's got a few concrete blocks in the boot! I'm not sure if the rear springs are weak or has someone used non standard springs on the front? If you have a level one, can you let me know the measurement from ground to centre of wheel arch front and rear, so that I can establish which end is right. Thanks
I'll get some measurements for you when I can, but it sounds like you need new rear springs. There should be a gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch, when the springs weaken the gap disappears!
That is taken from the passenger side. Drivers side was approximately 1cm less, presumably that is normal for a vehicle predominantly used by driver only.

Yes the club did have a batch made but that was well over 10 years ago. Have a quick search online and you will hopefully be able to find somewhere fairly local to either refurbish or renew your springs.
