Default Suspension
If you don't mind going second hand Salvo sell complete rear suspension for £100 per side. That way you can change the whole lot for a sports setup cheaply and easily.

Having changed the rear shocks on a '97 S40 i can vouch for it being a bit of a pig to do. The springs are quite small and you need small spring clamps to do the job.

Rock on.
