which springs for my uk 2000
i have a uk 2000 with bilstein struts and eibach springs,the car does handle well but there is no give in the suspension at all and is far to stiff for every day road driving,was hoping someone could point me out some springs that i can replace the eibach ones with,want to try and re-use the bilstein struts,the springs fitted at the moment are lowered by around 35mm front and 25mm back,i still want the car to handle well but not so stiff that i feel every pothole!!!!!!!
cheers

The shocks you have fitted are the prodrive ones that were available on the WR Sport models.
Mine has the same, and they may as well have just stuck some scaffold poles on with no springs as it is very hard - OK on smooth roads, but anything a bit rough and its time for new fillings !
Not sure if you can get away with just changing the springs though, you may need to change the whole units.
