My 96 Chim (with 100k on the clock) seems to have the original suspension springs and handles very well but tends to bounce when in a straight line on the bumpy B roads. The rear drop links will often bottom out on the road surface. The classic stationary 'push down each corner' seems quite easy to push, but it comes back up with no bouncing.

Is this just the nature of the Chimaera or is it time for spring replacements?

Thanks all for the information.

So if I wanted something a little bit firmer would users recommend these:

Or will these be ideal for general firmer road use:
