Here's something I've never seen before - a NOS Easiride kit for the rear suspension.

Interesting thing. On eBay - HERE - with a couple of days to run if anyone is interested.

Supposed to improve handling too. David

Yup - they were the second best mod I did to my car...rear anti roll bar was the best and these were great - they stop the nose of the car pointing at the sky when you take off quickly and help the displacers out - particularly when fully laden or airborne.
Tony Wood does the kits from time to time in stainless I believe. I also reinforced the boot floor a bit more than just the little plate.
Worth doing whether towing, rallying or not IMHO.

PS The rubber on the above kit may be a little past its best...

Aeon type , as Tony Wood kit is bolted to swing arm. Reckon it might save too much stress on displacers as well? Tony S
