For your information. Found an old set of MR2 springs lying about. On close inspection the are a perfect fit but twice as stiff as the standard springs.

As far as I know they are the rear springs. They are from new shape MR2 that came out in the 1990's.
The spring length and diameter are nearly identical but the coils are twice as stiff. I did chop them in half though because the car was sitting too high with them due to them being so stiff.
Combine them with stiffer shocks (or fill shocks with EP80) and who needs coilovers???
I am very pleased with the result. Now just need to stiffen the shocks

I have a good other one:
Volvo 850 Estate without Nivomat (thats what its called overhere...)
Size:
300:
width: 127.00mm
Length: 362mm
thickness: 11.20mm
850 Estate without nivomat (!!):
width: 128.00mm
length: 362mm
thickness:13.33mm
Need to be lowered:
The left ones are without nivomat. You can see the first ring is smaller, so needs to be chopped.

I love this site!!
lol
just when i was wondering what springs would sort the front end out i read two things from 2 posts:
>buy rear MR2 springs and cut them to size (figures; they are used to carrying an engine around)
>weld some brackets in up under the lower 'cup' on each leg to add strength
Just thinking about it, this would pretty much sort out my suspension problems. Cant wait to try it out

I was a bit confused...where we getting double leafs from??
if someone can tell me that, I'll be a happy man
gonna go buy some MR2 springs next payday. I would say that these are the better option if they do fit, as they come from the same end of the doner car as it's engine, as opposed to the 850 whose rear springs which aren't deisgned to take quite the same stress..
front shocks? i'm still using standards, so wouldnt know. im as eager as everyone else to find out though.
