I have had a Koni sport suspension kit in my car for a couple of years, but now the rear springs have started to sag quite a lot. (Probably due to the ICE and rubbish I cart around in the boot!)
What I was wondering whether its worth putting in Cabrio springs to counteract the extra weight in the boot.
Do carbrio springs go straight in?
Has anyone done this?
What spring do people recommend? Are Ventura springs any good?
I would be much appreciate any comments.
Cheers

Cab springs will indeed fit & sound like a reasonable idea for you... never heard of ventura though.
What'd probably be ideal would be some adjustable rear springs. I've got FK ones, but they ain't for sale!

If your gonna do that id have thought Touring springs would be better
Ive seen Tourings running on cab rear springs and they look too high, id imagine yours car would be even worse, even with the weight!
Not heard great things about Ventura, these guys may have what you need though (link opens up a an excel list of springs they sell )

You could try some rear springs with less lowering height in them....
Remembered this thread, might have some info you could use
