Can anyone recommend a good type of rear spring assistor for my 2011 Octy hatch, I want the suspension not too hard when solo but firmed up for towing the caravan. Any recommendations welcome

Better to ask on " CARAVAN TALK " this is not a caravan friendly zone, I tow with my Octy does tow a little nose down but not a problem, Spoke to my dealer said fitting them could invalidate warrenty. You should inform your insurance company if fitted as suspension is then non standard .

I can recomend a pair of munroe heavy duty springs (SP3348), the tow bar of my 07 Octy estate was always hitting speed bumps due to the rear suspension being 10mm loewr than spec and very soft, the new springs make the ride height about 5mm above stock but the main thing is thay are firmer, the ride quality is still good, not to firm and no issues when towing my big heavy trailer.

There is a shock fitted with a spring, bit like a racing setup, or there was. I cant remeber the make of hand will have a dig around and speeak to an old work mate to see if he can remeber. Sold about 3/4 sets and remeber 2 customers comming back very happy.

MAD springs are what you need. My insurance company (AVIVA) had no problem, no increase in premium just advise then if fitted.
