Hi I have a 1995 omega the suspension is soft on that, when I put a trailer on 750kg, 2 people in back, 2 infront  , 3 suitcases in boot it tends to grind across some speed bumbs.  I have been toying with the idea of HD Coils or coil assisters, used to have assisters on another car and had no problems when not towing or no weight in car also can be picked up for around £30, which is alot cheaper than new coils especially if not doing alot of towing.

They look great.

Does it not affect handling when not loaded?
