Where abouts are you based? Have you tried 4Rings in Dartford? They are very good.

Not sure outing lower springs in the rear and stock in the front makes sense, I would say lower front would be have been a better option but a full set even better.

When i bought my car the rear passanger side spring was broken. It did affect the handling when pushing hard, the rear would step out when turning left, but not right. got a garage to fit 2 rear springs (£85 each) along with the lower mount/bump stop (£3.76 each) as they were a bit deformed. The guy said he had a tool to compress the rear springs and remove/insert them without disassembling the rear arms. And going by the labour on the bill this must have been a quick job, so don't go paying for hours of work for a simple job
