Can somebody in the know please advise me if this is correct and which to order as they are quite pricey  and i want to make sure i get the correct ones
Im 16 stone if that does make a difference

Hi Mark,
I did the same and got mine from Dampertech, 350lbs front and 200lbs rear. The front on mine are perfect but next time i will be going for 250lbs springs for the rear, i'm also 16 stone and with a passenger the rear does compress a bit too much. I have had to wind the springs quite a way up to get my ride height and also stiffen up the dampers a fair bit.
I've wound up the springs since this pic but it does show how much rear compresses. Car still handles excellently though and it was pushed to the limit on these pics.
