What about heavy loads...hanging over the rear axle in the boot and what-not?what about ride harshness and body roll, much difference with them?

Here is another Spring option for you
H&R Springs....
Check this threads out
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...ighlight=grant
Also have a look through Carl's web site he has run both Eibach and H&R
http://www.******.co.uk/scooby/index.php
http://www.******.co.uk/scooby/diary_entry.php?id=13
You can price them up here...
http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/
I also know another member that has run them for a year and talks very highly of them, he is on 17" and has had no problems, even with a full car.
I have a set on order as I have been in the same mind set as you but I have decided to give them a go.

I've not had any heavy loads in the boot.
The ride's firmer, but not harsh, and body-roll's been noticably reduced, but I did have the rear arb links replaced with metal ones when I had the springs done.
I couldn't give a measurement for ride height change as I have no before measurement.
