   just wondering if anyone makes stiffer/harder springs that do not lower your car?as i would prefer to keep standard ride height but stiffen up the suspension! cheers

   None as far as I'm aware, best bet is polyurathane or nylon mounts all round. That'll stiffen up your car

   I think bilstein b6 dampers are stiffer dampers but are supposed to be used with oem height springs, as said polybush the wishbones, arb and rear beam
   
   I'm sure you could get custom springs made up for not a lot of money
   
   But I'd save time and get 25mm springs as saxos look incredibly high standard

   email faulkner and ask them
   they make custom wind stuff so you could
   
   that or get a rally design coilover setup and run like a 10" free length spring

   thanks guys, yeah just bought some eom top mounts because the current ones are faaaaaaaaked! and while i was at it powerflex arb, floxflex wishbone bushes, billies, ball joints and was looking at the rear wishbone mount, vibratechnics do them but bit pricey at 50 or so, do powerflex do a version? cheers...

   Skip brown road rally springs like on mine! Think they're slighty higher than standard though..185ish lbs.

    It also depends what dampers your running aswell tbh
    
    Like its all good saying get 185lb skip brown springs but if he gets billie b8s he will be underdamping
    
    Oh and floflex are crap
    Bet black powerflex
    And stump out for the vibratechnic imo they are the best mod you can do to these cars
    Polyrace do a version
    As do pugsport
    And a few others but the pugsports are hugely expensive otherscive heard of failiures on them :/

    185 lbs isn't exactly high poundage thoug. He merely asked for springs that are standard height but stiffer..which is exactly what I pointed him towards.

    Yes i know
    I wasnt slating your advice i was just saying using an example of yours to just try get him to state what dampers he plans to use
    
    185s on b8s would be underdamped but he may say hes getting group ns in which case hes fine at that
