lol Jamie! Just enjoy it as it is! Part of the reason I've not modified mine more in the last couple of months is due to trying to save more money for other things, but also just because it's all well and good spending money on lots of shiny suspension bits, but there's no point if you don't drive it regularly enough to enjoy them! So I'm just enjoying mine as is currently, and working out what if anything needs changing!

WR to springs; I'm gonna suggest Gaz because that's the only manufacturer I've direct experience with. I believe Ripp has a good contact for just springs. What you need to do though is measure the uncompressed length of your current springs and the Diameter, and then let them know that so they can send you the right fitting spring for your coilies!

I'm sure some are stronger, but it does depend on what ones you get. I can tell you with total certainty that ANY metal droplinks will be stronger than my plastic Q-Drive ones. I can bend them in my hands; they're AWFUL. I just don't have the money right now to change them, and there's no real point before summer anyway; I need more road compliance meaning a softer front set-up anyway! As said above too, I'm still not 100% sure the best thing on a fast-road car is to beef up the front; less roll can actually mean less grip in some scenarios...
