I've seen a bit about this recently but nothing too useful for my specific motor. I have a 1992 S7 which is Cortina based. The rear suspension is too soft so what's the best way to stiffen it up? Springs? Shocks? Both (yes I thought so). As far as I know the springs and shocks are standard spec (the shocks are newish looking and say heavy duty but.....). There are spring assisters on the rear springs and a big bit of foam over the rear axle (I assume it was contacting the body so this has been used as a bump stop). It's so bad that if I put my boot down hard the rear end bottoms out so it needs sorting sooner rather than later as I want to be able to put my boot down.

 

Ideally I'd like springs/shocks that replace the existing stuff anyone know contacts for such stuff and any idea of prices?
