Interesting, is your Terra level or slightly lop sided? I was under the impression that all Fiat mk1's had the spacer and Seat only removed it on the Marbella to save as much money as they could (like the fixed shut rear windows and the single rear leaf suspension).
Now come to think of it, my Terra does 'lop side' but to the left.
I thought it was mismatch tyre sizes but is suddenly occurred to me that it used to be left hand drive...
Perhaps it will even up now (actually I have some 4x4 legs to fit on it)

unfortunately it comes with the negative side effect of raised ride height.
As I see you lowered the rear, but this support spring raised it back?
How much did it raised? Because as I see you lowered plenty, but it looks like this keeps it around original (20yo) height, so not really lowered.
Ah, it gets confusing.

I added this before to stiffen up the back but I removed these for now as the weight reduction was enough so that the suspension is stiffer. I might need to add these back though when the 4x4 system goes on. The rear axle is much heavier in the 4x4 and this weight is unsprung so will bounce like crazy if the spring is too soft...
That is my understanding anyway...time will tell :devil:
