Hi

If the existing springs have gone soft, you could replace them with new std springs.

If the existing springs are ok, but you need a tougher spring rate, you could buy a pair of "doughnuts" that are often used when towing a caravan. They cost circa £20 and fit to the rear springs.

Worth a go given the cheap price.

you will be better off going to a local car part dealer such as Unipart, Europart etc.. wouldnt recommend the genuine one as it costs a fortune and it same thing anyway..

I would still prefer you checked if the std springs were ok first, as you may find they are already broken and not just weak.
