different rear axle compensating spring: which one to use?
Hi all,
I am currently swapping the rear axle on my '62 W111 Coupe. As I'm there, I have the choice between three different compensating springs that all have the same lenghth and number of coils but:
The one out of the car has a 14mm wire section and 92mm outer diameter;
the second one has a 14mm wire section and and 94.5 outer diameter;
the third one has a 14.5mm wire section and a 94.5 outer diameter.
I am using rubber shims on each side, the thinest available.
With the original one the car was sitting at a proper height while empty with 0 degree camber as it should, but had a tendency to sag exagerately when I was putting some weight in the trunk.
I would like the car to stand the same while empty but not to sag as much while loaded. I'm wondering which of the two other ones I should be using, as I'm fearing to get a negative camber while empty.
Anybody has some expeience on this?
Thanks in advance!
