Default Which rear springs for RWD saff?

Looking for some new springs, the one's I have sit far too low and squat big time under acceleration, so i'm guessing they're tired. No idea what they are as they were given to me used.

The car is fully poly'd, runs on Bilsteins, the fronts are spot on and I don't want to go to the expense or harshness of coilovers.

Any ideas?

Excellent advice, have just fitted them and it has improved by around a billion per cent.

Sits very nice too.

I've fitted the Rainbird items Steve (see up), very impressed.

Ta for the offer though. I've now got a full set of used springs going begging.

Ł170 ish a set. So far i'd say they are the closest thing you'll get to coilovers without the teeth shattering ride. Think the Billy dampers might help too though.

Some prefer also the std ride height AVO/chassis dynamics to the AB, personally I find coilys when set up nicely with decent rate mega comfy, and often get comments from rear seat passengers that it is really comfy.
