lethermang, on the springs...

On my SDL I changed the rear subframe mounts, but the back end is definately sagging more than it should. I will make some measurements sooner or later and compare to the TDM specs, but I am sure that the spring height in the back is too short.

Rather than replace the springs, wouldn't placing a thinker spacer on the top of the spring be a possible solution? It seems that is why there is so much detailed info spring / spacer combinations in the manual.

Is that a less preferable solution to changing out or "restretching" the rear springs?

thanks

alec
