Re: cutting springs
MR2 mk2 springs apparently, but the closest match is 850 rear springs from a non-nivomat model. Same length, same height, thicker steel.

Re: cutting springs
I've got some escort mk2 springs I'm going to try... Based on the fact that this chap claims he's fitted some! I won't be near the car for a while, but I'll try and post on here as soon as I've confirmed/denied this!

Thanks and one more question:
Estate 850 and sedan 850 rear springs. do they differ somehow?
