We all know that after several decades, P6s can end up with a 'saggy' behind! Both 'Hazel' & 'OCC' had them.
When I restored OCC (still to finish...) I put replacement springs on the back which I believe were standard & I've just taken a picture to show how she now looks. For comparison, I have recently changed Hazel's rear end completely & put in some uprated / progressive new springs & she is now sitting quite high.
Personally, I'm happy with both options; OCC obviously is the more original look, although I remember a local V8 in the late 70s having a high rear end, which I always thought looked good.
The views may be useful for anyone considering what to do.
