Guys, i tend to carry a fair bit of weight in the back of the car, are there some heavy duty springs I can buy that wont lift the back too high but will stop the sagging, do I have to change the shocks at the same time?

[tunnie]

If you do haul a lot of weight, you want to go the self levelling route, that came with Elite's.

Air in the shocks keep the car at the same level.

A set of plod springs would also help, they seem to be a bit beefier without upsetting the ride height

Off topic slightly 

My shed is a pfl cd model.

I changed my rear spring last month and at first they were ok but now they are settled in they seem no better then the removed pair.

I tend to carry quite alot of weight in the back, pull a tin tent now and again.
I have also got the added weight of the donut lpg tank in the spare wheel well.
Is it possible to fit the rear air shocks and pump them up if / when needed ?

or put a set off rubbers in like i got in mine

I believe some members use Monroe air levellers for non self levelling models...?
Although there was also talk of supply problems.

CliffoB's solution involves air bladders fitted within the springs. These can be connected to Elite's on board self levelling pump. Or via shader valve retro fitted in the boot for standard cars.

Problem there is Mad suspension, who supply the air bags, don't officially make an air bag system for the omega. So he's managed to speak to someone there that has sorted him out a set that work. I haven't been able to get passes that stage yet. But Cliffo does pop in here from time to time. Or maybe Pm him?

All the above sounds far too complicated for me lol anone wanna buy an Omega instead LOL

Cheers Chris, i'll have a word and find out how it works / how much it costs 

I take it its just a case of 2 bags that fit inside the springs.  A shroader valve, T piece and some pipe

Thought of that but I only really need them if i've got a full tank of gas / plenty of petrol and a full load in the boot
