Any recommendations please ?

My wedge has quite a bit of negative camber at the rear, to the point where you can see the tyres are wearing more on the insides. Looking at this a few times, and it rides low, catches on speed bumps, and is lower than many photos here, I've decide the springs, particluarly rears, have sagged/settled, so time to get new ones.

Adjustable rear ride height would be good, so I can trim camber (as well as using shims), etc.

Have seen "ML performance" web site - GAZ ones.... but pricey.

any good or bad experiences ? (and bear in mind I'm having to get them shipped here to NZ)

Please share - thanks all.

Thanks all for posts.....

I happen to have a pair of standard Armstrong Blue for the front, but I think that rear height adjustable would be great for the ability to trim the camber...(which is why I asked)

Can you get height adjustable Konis ??

I'm not hugely bothered for upgraded performance, the current ones are looking pretty cruddy, and I think are the originals...

Any suppliers to recommend ??

Alternatively - has anyone had their springs retempered - not sure if this is worth doing.

Springs are not particularly expensive, doubt it would be cost effective?
Probably not, I agree - just asking....

Not familiar with the Wedge rear suspension but it would be a poor design that noticeable altered the camber with a small change in ride height wouldn't it?
Hmmm. OK, I agree it's not a 'swing axle' like, say, Triumph Spitfire, but I'm reasonably sure that the early trailing arm setup DOES alter its camber as spring is compressed - good point though, I'll have to double check this.

As far as I can remember my wedge has no camber shims at all - perhaps someone before me forgot to put them back in ?
