Default Which Springs

My 97 classic is an import GC8 and when driving the suspension knocks and is really doing my head in. I think its been lowered 80 mm cos its on its ****. When I checked the suspension it has ohlins shocks but the springs coils are touching which would explain the knocking. Has anybody else had a similar problem. Can anybody suggest a set of spings which are not hard at all and lower ther car slightly. I need something that will stop shattering my back bone. Thanks

I agree, Eibach's. I had them fitted to my bugeye a few weeks back and have lowered it by 20-25mm. The ride is firmer but not back breaking (it's my everyday car) and the handling is much improved.
