Rear Coil Springs - Brand ?
Been volunteered to replace some rear coil springs on a tin top (mazda)
Any brands recommended or to steer clear of ?
I'm hearing good things about 'Suplex' and 'Sachs' but not such good comments on some of the cheapies from on-line
suppliers..
Any advice welcome

On my MX 5 the issue was that the bottom coil ended with full wire diameter.
The end of the coil made a point contact with the next coil - exactly at the point where it failed
On the new springs, I tapered about a 1/4 of the end coil with a flap disc on the angle grinder.
I later changed to coilovers. A year of use showed no spot loading on the replacement springs.
