[doc] Re: Suspension Question

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

i'm no expert, but i as i understand it there is no reason to 
replace springs unless they are damaged or you want to lower the car.

best maybe to get them grit blasted (about £5) and paint chassis 
black.

i'm going to do mine when she's on the road, if i can just get that 
darn rear caliper off.

regards

Steve
