rear springs
#7
I am confused!
Normal roads have a camber which means that they are higher in the middle.
If you abide by Nicholson's advice in The Austin Seven Book page 17, you will drive in the middle of the road to equalise the load on the springs.  If however you want to survive another day you will keep to your side of the road, in which case the side nearest the edge of the road will be more loaded due to the camber.  I would have thought therefore that in the UK, the left rear spring should be the stronger of the two?
I think all that matters is that the springs are a matched pair and of the correct camber for the model of A7. As has been discussed earlier, unless the car is to be used for trialling or subject to heavy loading, rear springs with slightly less camber are a good thing.
