2, Installation of new springs, bushings and rubber pads:Now we have come to the winter season and I don't use the car much. It's time to install the new parts I have bought. To do this there are some tools needed and I don't have them. I asked my workshop if he could do this and that wasn't any problem. I handed over the car to him. Rear springs:
The new springs installed, he had a lot of problem to do this because of rusted bolts, some broke and needed to be replaced. But after some struggle with this everything was done and it looks fantastic good. 
I'm lucky that I didn't try to do this in my small garage. 
At the same time he replaced the rear disc pads. I had already planned for this but forgot to tell him but he find it when he did an inspection of the rear chassi of the car. Rear bushings:
The rubber bushings was the most important to replace. My old were worn out and even when they are new they are too soft for this car and cause bad road handling. With these new harder bushings I hope to get it better. 
Look how bad the old bushing looked, it's crawling out on the right side. 
The new bushings are divided in two parts and are easily to install, but to get out the old ones you must have a hydraulic press. The old springs:
When checking the old replaced springs I can't see any wrong with them. But it was good to replace them anyway because after 130'000 km they will broke sooner or later. It was very easy to do this now when the rear chassi were apart. Now the new springs will last another 15 years. Old rubber pads:
Inspection of the old rubber pads which sits on top of the springs. Nothing wrong here either and they are of correct type, one notch or 5 mm.
The other thickness sizes that are available are: Here are two links with more information:
