Coil Spring Gone
went to replace the front coil spring rubber seats and found the coil broken. The car didn't look or handle any differently

It was only the pigtail.
Fitted some at the new springs that dropped the car 40mm, but they gave the car too much negative camber at the back for my liking. So I made some platforms from 6mm conveyor belt rubber to raise the back and reduce the negative camber

Yes, but cheaper. When the weather gets better I am going to move the pivot point on the arms to reduce the camber
