Err the Rear springs are leaf springs the fronts are coils, they are definitely not going to fit!
Have you left out a key piece of info, like you are talking about a MK2 escort or something?
Not really much different between all the 300s on springs, they all fit each other, but not usually a performance upgrade, you need to buy custom for that.

Im interested in this one too, @ Ride on he means mr2 rear springs fit the front of the volvo

As far as i know if you were to use 2" blocks on the back, 40mm lowered mr2 springs shopuld keep it even. But dont quote me lol just need to know which model mr2 though.

Ah thought the 'r' was a 'K', old eyes and too small computer text.

The front has actually been lowered (cut down mk2 MR2 rear springs and ep80/90w diff oil filled shocks) but I've only cut 2 coils off at the moment - The MR2 spings are quite long to begin with.
found this one here. but i cant tell how low it ended up getting coz there was no engine in the car at the time.
