I've been through this process and managed to get hold of new Nivomats for £250 each, which I thought would be worth it, but it hasn't cured the sagging rear end when it's been parked up for a while - they rise ok quickly and evenly but never seem to achieve a flat ride hide even so, so I am suspecting the leaf spring is weak. The spring mounts appear fine. When these cars were new I don't ever recall seeing a parked one sagging.

Skandix do indeed to an OEM leaf spring but only for suspension code 3 (V90 without ride height adjustment) which is odd because I thought all later cars (mine is 1998) had Nivomats.

Anyone know if fitting the thicker code 3 spring with Nivomats is a problem? Are the mounts different for the code 3 - i.e. thinner mounts for a thicker spring? I don't mind a higher ride height since its an estate and loading the car when it's been parked and the Nivomats deflated is a pain.

Thanks
