The estate springs may not be any stiffer than what youhave on there.

Issue sounds to be more with the wheels. Are they the correct offset etc as the car doesn't look lowered?

The RS 7 spokes should be fine as teh offset is correct

If your current rims extend beyond the bodywork you could be in for an ear bending off the plod as well.
