Stock rear spring question
Thinking of refurbing stock rear spring. Still has some arch left. If I replace the liners will it increase the arch?
In other words is the fact that the existing liners are worn and extruding from between the leaves reducing the arch?

I too have been thinking about replacing the springs...my ride seems "choppy" although i've replaced the shocks and bushings...i've also read if the springs have no arc to replace them...here is a photo of my springs, can any one tell if they are wore out? i have nothing to compare them to.
as a little test, I shook the body of the car to check movement and feel as though it "wiggled" more than I like. I don't know the specs, and no car around to compare this to, so I'm wondering whats the normal allowance for rear suspension. any ideas?
