Has anyoune either fitted stiffer springs or complete suspension units to make the suspension less sloppy? I don't need standard replacements but something to give a better feel rather than the slightly boucing feeling. I can see many around on the internet, Koni etc. bt would prefer just to replace the springs so has anyone actually done this ?

Hi Mai.

I have not done this, but I see you have 150K on the clock.
Bounce is not the way I would describe C3 suspension from new, are your dampers the original factory ones, if not, which ones you you have fitted now and when were they changed?
