so i had my ACCUMULATORS replaced... now the ride feels a whole lot better, and the car doesn't SAG anymore... i still have to adjust the ride height a bit higher since when viewed from the rear... the tires still slant a wee bit inwards.

on to my problem...

i'm still under the impression that even with the SLS faulty/disconnected/removed... the springs should support the car at the proper ride height, even without hydraulic support. (i read it somewhere in the forum)... (i also remember someone mentioning, also in the forum, that the springs need a little bit of hydraulic help...hence my confusion)

any inputs?

if i do indeed have to install new spring pads... doesn't this also indicate that my springs are going bad?
