Thank you for your detailed reply. I thought the other Lupo variants would have had slightly beefier springs but if not then I’ll order new ones and see if my old ones are just tired. The problem has got worse in the last 6 months.

Hi all, I’m a new member, I have a Lupo 3L with a manual conversion. I’m English but living in Holland and my Lupo has 340,000 kilometers under its belt! It is a fantastic little car and ultra reliable. My question is… The rear suspension is tired, if I have two people in the car and work gear or just three people it “bottoms out” on dips in the road and speed bumps (not due to going fast). I want to replace the springs and shockers but don’t want to change the standard ride height. Can I fit 1.4 diesel springs and shockers to beef up the suspension? Or will it ride too high as the body is too light without a decent load onboard? Will they even fit? I know the car shares little component with other lupos. Thank you for any help James
