You could try a pair of these Ted :

That's the best price i know of for a pair of them on ebay, won't necessarily stop it hitting the bump stops but will help to minimise it a bit.

Assuming you have "normal" suspension (not Nivomats) there are loads of springs available on ebay and shocks as well, should be able to find a complete rear axle set for about £50 for both springs and shocks.

I used Suplex springs and although not listed as such, turned out to be KYB shocks, same on the front end, totally transformed the car! All for under £125 for all 4 corners, springs and shocks.

I can't remember who Suplex are a subsidiary of but it's one of the "better" springs manufacturers.
It's a bit like Kilen, they are a subsidiary of Lesjofors who were OE manufacturers for Volvo, Rover and a few others. In short you get the same quality at a better price.
