Has anybody an opinion on these springs for use on the rear

http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/CO...ex.html?page=3

I was looking at them earlier and although they are designed for coil overs they not only will probably fit the current spring top/bottom mounts but also look very similar in size/style to the prototype ones Mark showed me on the as yet still on the ramp M3 sportster down at the factory.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a length and poundage rating to go on. I was assuming I could take my final estimate for the overall car weight (1200kg loaded) and divide by 4 (assuming 50/50 distribution). I may be missing the point somewhere.

I was thinking 2.25 ID 6" long 600lb at £22 each

They are pretty cheap so if they only do till IVA time they'll probably be worth a shot and if I can get the right ones they could have a life post IVA too.
