Heavy duty lowered rear springs

Hi all

I've just put the Subaru SVX lump in the van, and as suspected, the rear end has settled a little lower than previously. Boy is it a heavy lump.

The van is on -70m Avo lowered springs, and has been for a few years, so they're well and truly settled. They don't have a great deal of travel on the rear, and now its going to have even less.

Does anyone know of perhaps a -70 or -50mm heavy duty lowered rear spring? Also, both the Avo shocks I bought have failed, so I'd also be interested in some heavy duty dampers too.

Any help much appreciated.

You could go for the Eibach or Weitec springs and heavy duty shocks from Brickwerks.

Problem is I only need the rear springs. I could put a little spring spacer in I was thinking...

Those shocks say they're a direct replacement of the OE ones? What makes them heavy duty?
