    Default Stiffer rear spring on markII?

    Hi

    Im in need for some stiffer springs on my markII, im towing a lot of trailers with my old car, so i need something that can take a lot heavier load back there, but at the same time i dont want it to be uncomfortably stiff without a trailer on either.

    Im wondering if i can use springs from some other kinda car, maybe cressida, hilux or something like that?

    King springs isnt a option since i already researched that and the shipping to europe is way too much.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Find a Progressive rate spring (Eibach) which suits the markII rear vehicle weight and original spring dimensions but does not lower the vehicle, maybe even raises the vehicle 5-10mm.

    Rep points are for those who feel inadequate in other areas !

    Thanks for ur answer.

    any suggestion on how i can compare and find the spring i should use? the markII isnt listed with eibach, so i dont really have parts numbers or anything to compare with.

    Give Eibach a call with the dimensions, no of coils and thickness of the MarkII Spring and see if they can help you.

    If they can't, I will find out what model should be interchangable for you. What year Mark II is yours btw ? Do you have a picture of it ?
