Default Best springs to use on an RST with Konis?

Any recommendations for use with Konis on an RST?

I believe the Koni springs are shat so just want to know what it the most recommended spring/damper combo.

Also, I have noticed that most poly bush manufacturer only lists top mounts for the front of an RST and not the rears. Does any one know of a manufacturer that makes the rears?

I personally am running standard ride height Koni springs but the whole set up is only temporary. It's not that bad but it could be better I suppose. I have the dampers on full stiffness.

The reason I am asking is for a friend who has just got an S1 RST..
