Learning a bit more about my 75 2.0. One thing for sure is that the ride is hard and bouncy so while adjusting my parking brake I notice the rear suspension coils. On them is stamped Weltmeister and the numbers 41/95 and SP140 so I guess that would tell me the type of spring. Does anyone know if these are the right springs for these cars or has some previous owner put heavier springs in for track racing?
I'm not going to track this car so if these are the cause of the hard ride I will change them out. Thanks |
