pulled the sister in laws micra (1.4s) from her garage to use for grass auto tests and classic car trials what i'd like to do ( at minimal expense) is increase the ride height to improve the ground clearance for those nasty roots and lumps of rock! i suspect that something like a gravel rally spring (front and rear) would be most appropriate if so what and from where .. but on the other hand is something else useable.. did i mention minimal expense?
Forest/ gravel springs?

Is the car old enough for classic car trials?
Minimal expense is my mantra too - hence I did this
Rear - get more of the rubber rings which the fit between the spring and bodywork. Disconnect the bottom of the dampers - drop an extra one in the bottom spring cup.
Front - Purchase a pair of spring assisters - usually fitted to the rear springs of towcars and jam em in the front.
